Rarely does an analysis offer such a deep insight into the inner workings of Russia as the current book of the same name by Spiegel bestselling author Sabine Adler. She shows how Russian society has become what it is today: a nation deprived of its freedom of expression, whose economic power is at the discretion of the ruling clique. They have established a system in which political, military and economic elites are inextricably intertwined and thus exert unlimited power over people's lives.

Following her bestseller "Die Ukraine und wir", this book by Deutschlandfunk's Eastern Europe expert also focuses on one thing: enlightenment.
