Моя любимая страна (Moya lyubimaya strana, “My favorite country”) is a book with collected writings by Elena Kostyuchenko (b. 1987), a Russian journalist and gay rights activist in exile.

The English translation, titled I Love Russia: Reporting from a Lost Country (2023), was named a Best Book of the Year by The New Yorker and TIME. It also was a winner of the Pushkin House Book Prize and a New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice.

Shown here is the second edition of the original Russian-language version by Meduza from early 2024. The title is set in Solid and Stencil styles of CoFo Kabeltouw, with the word “favorite” replaced by asterisks. The author’s name and “больше чем репортажи” (“more than reports”) are added in Wremena Bold.
