Oliver Bullough grew up in Wales, studied modern history at Oxford and moved to St Petersburg

for Reuters specialising in Chechnya and the Caucasus region. Since returning to Britain in 2006,
he has written three books. First, Let Our Fame Be Great, a travel and history book published by

It was shortlisted for the Orwell Prize in the UK, and won the Cornelius Ryan award in the US.

control, and formed their own nomadic global community. He’s also a regular contributor to the
