Can anyone truly understand Russia? Let one of the world's leading experts show you how  using
the fascinating history of a nation to illuminate its future. Russia is a country with no
natural borders  no single ethnos  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

revolutionaries. In this essential whistle-stop tour of the world's most misunderstood 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 arrival of an obscure politician named Vladimir Putin.
