1. Pravda
A sharp, atmospheric novel that follows a foreigner immersed in contemporary Russia as he navigates the murky intersection of journalism, power and personal loyalty; through encounters with charismatic locals, moral compromises and shifting alliances, the book examines how truth is shaped and manipulated in a society haunted by its past, blending dark humor, introspection and a growing sense of danger into a portrait of a country and a man in uneasy transition.
