Book Description
WINNER OF THE 2017 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD IN NONFICTION FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARDS WINNER OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY'S HELEN BERNSTEIN BOOK AWARD NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2017 BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW, LOS ANGELES TIMES, WASHINGTON POST, BOSTON GLOBE, SEATTLE TIMES, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR, NEWSWEEK, PASTE, and POP SUGAR The essential journalist and bestselling biographer of Vladimir Putin reveals how, in the space of a generation, Russia surrendered to a more virulent and invincible new strain of autocracy. Award-winning journalist Masha Gessen's understanding of the events and forces that have wracked Russia in recent times is unparalleled. In The Future Is History, Gessen follows the lives of four people born at what promised to be the dawn of democracy. Each of them came of age with unprecedented expectations, some as the children and grandchildren of the very architects of the new Russia, each with newfound aspirations of their own--as entrepreneurs, activists, thinkers, and writers, sexual and social beings. Gessen charts their paths against the machinations of the regime that would crush them all, and against the war it waged on understanding itself, which ensured the unobstructed reemergence of the old Soviet order in the form of today's terrifying and seemingly unstoppable mafia state. Powerful and urgent, The Future Is History is a cautionary tale for our time and for all time.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Union; Past, Present, and Future: A Speech Delivered by Hon. W. W. Eaton, at City Hall, Hartford, on Saturday Evening, March 3d, 1860 "Better rule in hell, Than serve in heaven." The present is a crisis in the history of our government, an important crisis, great for good or evil. I am informed, I presume correctly, that Mr. Cassius M. Clay while speaking in this city a few evenings since, said: "That if the Democrats carried the State Connecticut this Spring, there was the end of the Presidential controversy." And further, "That if the Democracy were successful in the next Presidential canvass, a general insurrection at the South would be the result." Before I pass upon this question, if I may be allowed a parliamentary remark, I move to divide it. With Mr. Clay, I believe if the National Democracy of our State are successful in this opening fight, that the back-bone of "John Brown Republicanism" will be broken, and in the greater battle for the Presidency, the motley crew who rally upon sectional issues, will be scattered before the legions of the Democracy, like chaft before the wind. That the success of the Democratic party in the Presidential election, will cause insurrection at the South, is to me quite a new idea, and I doubt not was to the hearers of Mr. Clay. It therefore has one merit, it is original; and if Mr. Clay will speedily file his caveat in the office of Commissioner of Patents, I presume the first "Brown Republican" who is placed at the head of that branch of public service, will issue a patent for the full term of fourteen years, with liberty to extend, ad infinitum. But the crisis is a momentous one, the public mind is thoroughly aroused to its importance, and a feeling has obtained throughout our broad country, that for "weal or woe" the acts of the people in the ensuing elections will determine the destiny of this confederacy of sovereign states, and either greatly strengthen the bonds which bind them together, or render them yet weaker than they now confessedly are. I say to you, Freemen of Connecticut, that the time has arrived when every man who reveres the Constitution, and would fulfil all its obligations, who loves the Union of the States and would perpetuate it to the latest time, is imperatively called upon to use Ins exertions for the best interests of country. All little differences of opinion must be laid aside, all individual interests and passions must be forgotten, and all the intelligence and all the strength of the National men of Connectient must be joined in one common and energetic effort to avert the calamities which hang like a pall over our loved land.
