Russia: A 1000-Year Chronicle of the Wild East
A huge tome covering 1000 years of Russian history, and the book of the Radio 4 series.The first 180 odd pages cover the first 900 years up to the revolution, and then the remainder is from the 1917 revolution. It is a comprehensive history and written in a eminently readable way.Well worth a read for anyone interested in Russian, and its influence on Europe and the wider world.
