Die kürzeste Geschichte Russlands

An indispensable guide to understanding Russian history. Russia is one of the most powerful nations on Earth, with an impressive culture, but also a long history of war, suffering, and bloody revolutions. Russia expert Mark Galeotti delves into this complex country in his narrative. He illuminates Russian history from its beginnings with Kievan Rus through the rise and fall of the Romanovs, describes the communist revolution under Lenin and the Stalinist terror, all the way to today's post-Soviet autocracy of Putin. "Fascinating. One of the sharpest commentators on the Putin era - and modern Russia." Financial Times.
