ZusammenfassungMitreißend, prägnant und menschlich berührend erzählt Orlando Figes die Geschichte Russlands. Dabei entfaltet er das große Panorama der russischen Seele: von unsterblichen Mythen über die großartigen kulturellen Leistungen bis zur Weltmachtpolitik des 20. Jahrhunderts und unserer Gegenwart. Eine unerlässliche Lektüre für alle, die dieses uns noch immer fremde und rätselhafte größte Land der Erde verstehen wollen.
