This book tells the story of Russian journalism from the early 20th century to the present day. It begins with the rise of the Soviet Union and the suppression of freedom of the press. It then traces the development of journalism in the post-Soviet era, as Russia struggled to transition to democracy.

The book features interviews with some of the most important Russian journalists of the past century, including Anna Politkovskaya, who was murdered in 2006 for her work exposing human rights abuses in Chechnya; Dmitry Muratov, the editor of the independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta; and Masha Gessen, a journalist and author who has been a vocal critic of the Putin regime.

Through these interviews, the book provides a unique insight into the challenges and dangers of reporting on Russia. It also sheds light on the important role that journalism plays in holding the government accountable and informing the public.
