Description
Russia's complex past and uncertain future are explored in this thought-provoking book by Mikhail Shishkin. The author argues that Russia is not as mysterious as often perceived, but rather its problems stem from a lack of understanding about its history and development. Shishkin examines the roots of Russia's issues, tracing them from the Kievan Rus' to the present-day Russian Federation. He also explores the relationship between the state and citizens, and proposes that there are two distinct Russian peoples: those who suffer under 'slave mentality', and those who strive for European values and democracy. This book offers a passionate and insightful account of Russia's entangled past, as well as a nuanced exploration of its people's hopes and challenges.
