The book “The Compatriots: The Brutal and Chaotic History of Russia’s Exiles, Émigrés, and Agents Abroad” by Andrei Soldatov and Irina Borogan examines the shifting role of Russian expatriates throughout history, and their complicated, unbreakable relationship with the mother country – be it antagonistic or far too chummy.
