When Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine in February 2022 the writer Jana Bakunina who has lived in the UK for 20 years felt furious ashamed but most of all helpless. A year later she travelled to her home city of Yekaterinburg to see how ordinary Russians viewed the conflict - and whether the soul of her nation had truly been crushed. Jana finds a booming city seemingly untouched by war. Reconnecting with old friends she discovers people either happy to go along with a regime that has brought them stability or else staying out of politics. Most painful of all her once liberal father has channelled his personal disappointments into becoming a firm fan of Putin. In the grand humane tradition of Russian dissident writers Jana Bakunina grapples with a universal problem: what happens when a country you love becomes infected by nationalism? What hope is there when voices of conscience are silenced by dictatorship? And can Russians in exile still imagine a liberated future?
