A Little Gray Wolf Will Come

Alice calls her mother’s work propaganda, but Zhanna believes that she is working for the good of her homeland. As a foreign correspondent for Russian TV she covers the major events in the Western countries from the Kremlin’s perspective and she wants to make Alice more Russian. So Zhanna decides to show her the biggest country in the world. Over four summers and one winter, mother and daughter travel across the length and breadth of Putin’s Russia. But as their journey unfolds, Zhanna grapples with her past, her secrets, and her identity as both a journalist and a mother—while the country edges closer to a war. A Little Gray Wolf Will Come is a powerful tale of love, lies, and the loss of homeland.
