The latest title in the In Brief series of Books for Busy People is a timely look at Russia's vast and fascinating history, from the foundation of Kievan Rus in the 9th Century all the way to the present day, as President Vladimir Putin begins his fourth term in office.
Russia's story is long and complex, and A History of Russia condenses in an easy to read format the most significant events that moulded the country's history, covering the early beginnings of Rus, the Mongol Invasions, the Dukes of Muscovy, the Russian Orthodox Church, the Romanovs and Revolution. Closing with the rise and then fall of the Soviet Union and the ascendancy of Putin.
The largest country in the world by area and the ninth most populous, Russia was famously described by Churchill as a "riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma", and this book aims to shine a light on that riddle, in a simple and easily digestible format.
