A SHORT HISTORY OF RUSSIA - MARK GALEOTTI KARTO...

'Fascinating... One of the most astute political commentators on Putin and modern Russia'
Financial Times 'An amazing achievement' Peter FrankopanCan 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.
