As the war drags on, Russia and Ukraine expert Evelyn Farkas shares her top reading recommendations.
We’re approaching nine weeks since Russia invaded Ukraine. And if, within that time, you’ve found yourself returning to the same inexplicable question—“Why?”—you’re not alone.e asked Evelyn Farkas, an American national security adviser, for her top recommendations. Deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine, and Eurasia from 2012 to 2015, Farkas is an expert on the region.
How did a “faceless” low-level KGB operative rapidly ascend to the Russian presidency? Masha Gessen, a Russian-American journalist, sets out for the answer. In doing so, she provides a comprehensive look into Vladimir Putin’s life. What Farkas says: “This one is foundational. It describes in succinct terms how Putin came to power.”Using a boots-on-the-ground approach, journalist Tim Judah weaves together the diverse—and sometimes conflicting—viewpoints of Ukrainians following the country’s violent 2014 revolution and Russia’s annexation of Crimea.
What Farkas says: “He brings home the war through the eyes of the people affected by it on the ground by firsthand interviewing his subjects and covering the first phase of the Russian war against Ukraine in 2014.”By Peter Pomerantsev
