"The Story of Russia is a fresh approach to the thousand years of Russia's history, concerned as much with the ideas that have shaped how Russians think about their past as it is with the events and personalities comprising it. No other country has reimagined its own story so often, in a perpetual effort to stay in step with the shifts of ruling ideologies"--Dust jacket flap.

illuminating submitted by bec on June 28, 2023, 8:23am This book really illuminated Russian history for me, helping me understand how it has helped shape the nation, its systems of government, and its cultural identities. It was an interesting, sobering read.
