LOST KINGDOM - SERHII PLOKHY KARTONIERT (TB)

'Brisk and thoughtful  this book could hardly be more timely' Dominic Sandbrook  BBC History
Magazine  Books of the Year An astonishingly wide-ranging history of Russian nationalism
chronicling Russia's yearning for Empire and how it has affected its politics for centuriesIn
2014  Russia annexed Crimea and attempted to seize a portion of Ukraine. While the world
watched in outrage  this violation of national sovereignty was in fact only the latest
iteration of a centuries-long effort to expand Russian boundaries and create a pan-Russian
nation. In Lost Kingdom  award-winning historian Serhii Plokhy argues that we can only
understand the merging of imperialism and nationalism in Russia today by delving into its
history. Spanning over two thousand years  from the end of the Mongol rule to the present day 
Plokhy shows how leaders from Ivan the Terrible to Joseph Stalin to Vladimir Putin have
exploited existing forms of identity  warfare and territorial expansion to achieve imperial
supremacy. A strikingly ambitious book  Lost Kingdom chronicles the long and belligerent
history of Russia's empire and nation-building quest.
