Place reservation for Russia starts here : real lives in the ruins of empireWhy do ordinary people support Putin? Why does Russia act so aggressively abroad? How fragile is the regime? In 'Russia Starts Here', Howard Amos paints a fascinating portrait of the lives of ordinary Russians, introducing us to a cast of colourful characters nestled on the fringes of North-Eastern Europe. These include a powerful cleric close to Vladimir Putin; a chameleon-like local politician; a photographer capturing the bleak struggle of everyday Russian life on his iPhone; and a horse riding enthusiast eking out a living in the ruins of a huge aristocratic estate.
