The road to unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America

"The Road to Freedom" is one of the most important books for Ukrainian readers, as it tells about the events that we are witnesses and participants of today.

It is not just a description of events, political figures and the global ideas underlying them. Timothy Snyder analyzes the complex and dramatic changes that took place in Russia, Ukraine, Europe, and the United States from 2011 to 2016. Among these events are the Russian protests on Bolotnaya Square in Moscow, the Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine, the annexation of Crimea and Russia's invasion of Donbas, the refugee crisis, Brexit and Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election.

Timothy Snyder not only questions why the idea of ​​the "end of history" turned out to be wrong. He shows how the notion of inevitability, or, in other words, the idea that "ideas don't matter," has helped shape the current political climate.
