Summary
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
For all of the West's failings—terrible food, cold weather and questionable politicians with funny hair to name a few—it has its upsides. Konstantin would know. Growing up in the Soviet Union, he experienced first-hand the horrors of a socialist paradise gone wrong, having lived in extreme poverty with little access to even the most basic of necessities. It wasn't until he moved to the UK that Kisin found himself thriving in an open and tolerant society, receiving countless opportunities he would never have had otherwise.
Funny, provocative and unswervingly perceptive, An Immigrant's Love letter to the West interrogates the developing sense of self-loathing the Western sphere has adopted and offers an alternative perspective. Exploring race politics, free speech, immigration and more, Kisin argues that wrongdoing and guilt need not pervade how we feel about the West—and Britain—today, and that despite all its ups and downs, it remains one of the best places to live in the world.
After all, if an immigrant can't publicly profess their appreciation for this country, who can?

A brave, blunt and much needed breath of fresh air
In these somewhat crazy days, it would be quite easy to give into despair. The assault on Western values is almost unrelenting, taking place on every airwave airwave every soundbite. Even the nature of truth is up for grabs. we are being divided, not united and our civilisation will be the worst for it.
Konstantin Kisin calls out some of the most pervasive narratives of our time and does so with intelligence and no small amount of wit.
Truly excellent 👏

Improved my mental health.
Made me think while still making me laugh out loud.
Not preachy or didactic in any way, but thought provoking and well written.

A Very Good & Honest View Of The Cultural World
I've seen Konstantin on GBNews on various occasions.
I like his "coontra" view of the world, particularly the Woke phenomonen.
He hits all the right notes as far as I'm concerned and I am 78 years old.
It is refreshing and enlightening to have an immigrant Russian we the West as a very good thing that can be taken away from us by "I'll informed university types, lecturers and students" who do not understand the full history of the world, and cannot see plain truths as they live their cocooned and privileged lives.
I'm in the last year's of my life now and can only foresee room for the West unless people such as Konstantin keep on calling out the idiot brigades living in the west, whether it be politicians' ( particularly Labour and Liberal ones) who will accelerate us to bring totally run over by illegal immigrants.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for regular immigration, indeed I all sorted a Jamaican reference for acceptance into GB, and he was well worth my reference. Built his own company, and was doing really well at the time of my retirement.
Great piece of work Konstantin. Wish you well. Give us some more please

Hilarious but scary portrayal of our world today and where we’re headed!
If George Carlin, Peter Hitchens, Ricky Gervais and Dave Chappelle had gotten together to highlight and right the wrongs of todays world!
LOL funny, but very scary!

Should be compulsory reading
A fascinating overview of modern social changes, delivered with wit and humour. We will ignore the key messages at our grave peril.

Enjoyable listen for a depressing subject.
I listened to this in two sessions, as it's not a particularly long book.
As a follower of Triggernometry, I already knew KK's viewpoint, but very interesting listen. I imagine this is not as in depth as some readers that are history buffs may be accustomed to, but for the average working class joe like me, I think it summed up what the west has got right and wrong, and what we need to do preserve our way of life, plus it also covers the horrors of what socialism caused in the USSR.
Good stuff and I look forward to book number two!
