The Norwegian author and journalist Åsne Seierstad's new book is about Russia's war against Ukraine seen from within Russia. ”Ufred – Russland fra innsiden” ("Ofred – Russia from the inside") is published in Norwegian on September 25 and is written after trips made during a three-year period. Seierstad has met both war opponents and Russians who support the war or do not care at all.
”Vladimir Putin went to full war against the neighboring country Ukraine on February 24, 2022. At the same time as Russia isolated itself and many Western media called home their correspondents, Åsne Seierstad turned back to the country where she studied and later wrote her first article”, writes the publisher Cappelen Damm in a press release.
