The last man in Russia and the struggle to save a dying nation
Bullough, Oliver, 1977-2013
Books, Manuscripts
In the 1960s, two things happened in Russia: women started to have fewer children than the country needed to sustain its population and life expectancy began to fall. The two statistics taken together added up to what has become known as the 'demographic crisis', which accelerated in the chaos that followed 1991, and has not yet been reversed. Tracing the lives of the generation that grew to maturity in the 1960s, and the struggles of one in particular who tried to create a better future, Oliver Bullough shows how this population collapse is a psychological catastrophe, a protest against rulers who offer their people such limited dreams.
