Kesha Bakunin

A journalist and PR executive by trade, Kesha Bakunin started

his career in one of the former Soviet states. As his country

slid towards authoritarianism, social conformity, and religious

orthodoxy, he emigrated to preserve personal integrity and

professional independence. Having watched his homeland fall

prey to a most bizarre mix of secular autocracy and religious

extremism, Kesha felt compelled to document and share his

observations.
