Svetlana Satchkova's novel "The Undead" follows a young Russian filmmaker whose apolitical stance offers no protection when state agents target her for her film's content, drawing inspiration from real prosecutions of artists in Putin's Russia. Satchkova, who fled Moscow in 2016 as a journalist, explores how citizens in authoritarian regimes often ignore politics until persecution directly affects them or their loved ones.
