'Fascinating... One of the most astute political commentators on
Putin and modern Russia' Financial Times 'An amazing achievement'
Peter Frankopan Can anyone truly understand Russia? Russia is a
country with no natural borders, no single ethos, no true central
identity. At the crossroads of Europe and Asia, it is everyone's
'other'. And yet it is one of the most powerful nations on earth, a
master game-player on the global stage with a rich history of war
and peace, poets and revolutionaries. In this essential
whistle-stop tour of the world's most complex nation, Mark Galeotti
takes us behind the myths to the heart of the Russian story: from
the formation of a nation to its early legends - including Ivan the
Terrible and Catherine the Great - to the rise and fall of the
Romanovs, the Russian Revolution, the Cold War, Chernobyl and the
end of the Soviet Union - plus the rise of a politician named
Vladimir Putin, and the events leading to the Ukrainian war.
