"'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. From the founding of Kievan Rus in the first millennium to Putin's war against Ukraine, Orlando Figes (a professor of history at Birkbeck, University of London) explores the ideas that have guided Russian's actions throughout its long and troubled existence.(...)"--Dust jacket flap.
