Description

For all the failures of the West - terrible food, cold weather, and controversial politicians with strange hair to name a few - there are also positives. Konstantinos would know this. Growing up in the Soviet Union, he experienced firsthand the horrors of a socialist paradise gone wrong, living in extreme poverty with limited access to even the most basic necessities. It wasn't until he moved to the United Kingdom that Kissin found himself thriving in an open and tolerant society, receiving countless opportunities he otherwise wouldn’t have had. With humor, defiance, and an unrelenting perception, "An Immigrant's Love Letter to the West" explores the growing self-hatred sentiment the Western sphere has adopted and offers an alternative perspective. Exploring tribal politics, freedom of speech, immigration, and more, Kissin argues that blame and guilt do not need to dominate how we feel about the West - and Britain - today, and that despite its challenges, it remains one of the best places to live in the world. Ultimately, if an immigrant cannot publicly express their appreciation for this country, who can?
