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 Frankopan   Can 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.
