520    The end of communism and breakup of the Soviet Union was a
       time of euphoria around the world, but Russia today is 
       violently anti-American and dangerously nationalistic. So 
       how did we go from the promise of those days to the 
       autocratic police state of Putin's new Russia? The 
       Invention of Russia reaches back to the darkest days of 
       the cold war to tell the story of the fight for the soul 
       of a nation. With the deep insight only possible of a 
       native son, Arkady Ostrovsky introduces us to the 
       propagandists, oligarchs, and fixers who have set Russia's
       course since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Soviet 
       Union yoked together dreamers and strongmen-those who 
       believed in an egalitarian ideal and those who pushed for 
       an even more powerful state. The new Russia is a cynical 
       operation, where perpetual fear and war are fueled by a 
       web of lies. Twenty-five years after the Soviet flag came 
       down over the Kremlin, Russia and America are again 
       heading toward a confrontation, but this course was far 
       from inevitable. With this riveting account of how we got 
       here-of the many mistakes and false promises-Ostrovsky 
       emerges as Russia's most gifted chronicler.
