Surviving Autocracy by Masha Gessen is a political analysis of the Trump presidency and the broader authoritarian patterns it revealed in American public life. Published in 2020, the book expands on Gessen widely read post election essay about how citizens should respond when an autocratic figure gains power through democratic procedures. Gessen writes from a distinctive position: as a journalist shaped by Soviet experience and by long reporting on Vladimir Putin Russia, they interpret Trump not mainly as an aberrant personality but as a political force that damages the conditions necessary for democratic reality. The book examines language, institutions, media habits, law, truth, citizenship, and resistance. Its purpose is not to provide a conventional chronicle of events or a policy program. Instead, it asks readers to recognize how autocracy works psychologically and socially, how it becomes normalized, and what forms of civic attention are required to resist it.
