Anotace
Russia is a country of contradictions, a nation of cultural
refinement and artistic originality and yet also a country that
rules by 'the iron fist'. In this riveting history, Martin Sixsmith
shows how Russia's complex identity has been formed over a thousand
years, and how it can help us understand its often baffling
behaviour at home and abroad. Combining in-depth research and
interviews with his personal experiences as a former BBC Moscow
correspondent, Sixsmith skilfully traces the conundrums of modern
Russia to their roots in its troubled past, and explains the
nation's seemingly split personality as the result of influences
that have divided it for centuries. "A Sunday Times" bestseller,
Russia is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the
complex political landscape of this country, and its unique place
in the modern world.
