David Satter has been one of the world’s leading commentators on Russian affairs for more than four decades. He was the Moscow correspondent of the Financial Times from 1976 to 1982 and has written several books about Russia. In December, 2013, he was expelled from Russia where he had been accredited as Radio Liberty correspondent becoming the first U.S. journalist to be barred from Russia since the Cold War.
"The truth the reader will glean from the pieces on dissidents is the truth that Satter spent much of his career emphasizing: namely, that Communism's ultimate failure was not economic or political, but spiritual. [...] If David Satter's career has shown anything, it is that even in times when it seems impossible, a true understanding of what is happening in Russia is within reach, provided one has the right moral framework and the courage to see reality as it is. If not for these qualities and the people who live by them, Russia would be destined to remain a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma."-Nat Brown, National Review, 29. October 2020
"Many experts claim to have gotten Russia "right." Never Speak To Strangers openly lays out decades of Satter's writings, composed as events unfolded, allowing readers to evaluate whether the author did indeed get things right. Did he identify the major trends? Did he see the end coming? [...]My take on this massive collection of essays is that David Satter got things right. Taken together, his essays give us a much-needed framework for understanding Russia under Putin: where it came from, what it is like now, and-the most difficult question of all-where it is headed."- Paul R. Gregory, defining ideas, a Hoover Institution Journal
