I've never been to Russia, but the country has always fascinated me. It seems like Exhibit A for what happens when a society lets its worst impulses run riot with no governor and no brakes. It's like 1984 taken to the worst possible degree. Now I'm going to have to watch Trauma Zone, even though my faith in humanity is already at rock bottom.
I thought of you many times, knowing your interest in Russia. I won’t lie--it’s a tough watch. But it’s one of the most fascinating docuseries I’ve ever seen. You will get a LOT out of it, and with any luck, will feel inspired to put your pen to it. I would love to read it.
