Overview
A Library Journal 2020 Title to Watch
"Terrific - and an amazing achievement to cover so much ground in such a short and wonderfully readable book." -Peter Frankopan, bestselling author of The Silk Roads
Russia’s epic story told in an accessible, lively and short form, using the country's fascinating history to help us understand its actions today and what the future might hold
A country with no natural borders, no single ethnic group, no true central identity, Russia has mythologized its past to unite its people, to justify its military decisions, and to signal strength to outsiders. Mark Galeotti takes us behind the myths to the heart of the Russian story, covering key moments such as:

In turn, this self-invented history has come to affect not just their constant nation-building project but also their relations with the world.

- the formation of a nation through its early legends, including Ivan the Terrible and Catherine the Great
- the rise and fall of the Romanovs, the Russian Revolution, the Cold War, Chernobyl and the Soviet Union
- the arrival of an obscure politician named Vladimir Putin and his ambitions for Russia
