Aimsigh é!
Why do ordinary people support Putin? Why does Russia act so aggressively abroad? How fragile is the regime? In 'Russia Starts Here', Howard Amos paints a fascinating portrait of the lives of ordinary Russians, introducing us to a cast of colourful characters nestled on the fringes of North-Eastern Europe. These include a powerful cleric close to Vladimir Putin; a chameleon-like local politician; a photographer capturing the bleak struggle of everyday Russian life on his iPhone; and a horse riding enthusiast eking out a living in the ruins of a huge aristocratic estate.
