Leaving Russia: How Putin Forced a Nation's Future to Flee

Leaving Russia is a compelling blend of personal memoir, political analysis and investigative journalism. Jason Corcoran recounts his family’s flight from Moscow following the invasion of Ukraine, while documenting the wider exodus of artists, entrepreneurs, dissidents and professionals. Through their stories, he reveals the human consequences of repression, propaganda and political decline. The result is an intimate and authoritative portrait of a country losing many of the people who might have shaped its future.
