A publishing event from one of our most gifted storytellers: the expansive and enthralling history of Russia, from its foundations to the present. Orlando Figes takes us on an intimate and enthralling journey through the stories that have shaped Russia. How the Russians came to tell their story - and to reinvent it as they went along - is not only a vital aspect of their history, but is also the best means we have of understanding the country today.
Orlando Figes is one of the world's leading authorities on European history.
