The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America

The Road to Unfreedom is Timothy Snyder’s landmark study, of particular significance to Ukrainians, as we find ourselves at the very center of the historical processes it describes. The author analyzes not only the key political figures and events of the past decade, but also the deeper ideological shifts behind them. Snyder convincingly explains why faith in the “end of history” proved to be a dangerous illusion. He shows how the devaluation of ideas and the belief in the inevitability of progress created the conditions for today’s crises and continue to threaten democracy around the world.
