Most attractive of all perhaps are the seductive covers of the book's different editions. Truly this book is my all time favorite and Russia is where i belong❤️.

With all of his looking to the West, the peasantry won in the end.Whew, I actually finished. Some threads that go through the entire book and tie the narrative together, such as the history of the Fountain House in St. Petersburg, almost give you an impression that you are reading fiction. Although, honestly, I picked this up after watching the BBC's "War and Peace" miniseries and feeling hungry for more history, less so because of recent news stories!I will return to this magnificent, many-chambered cultural history of Russia again and again.This is a great cultural history. For the period from roughly 1760 to 1960 it contains histories of Russian literature, painting, ballet and classical music.

Meeting Helia and discovering Persian Dance has been especially rewarding for Natasha as she has found a deeper connection with her Persian background.

They certainly weren't left out but neither were they biographied. (I think I picked up a fair bit of history peripherally from this book anyway). This book is extremely reader-friendly. And will you dance, Natasha dance for me, Because I want to feel the passion in your soul, And when you dance, will you tell me in a story, The joy and pain of living in your world; La la la, la la la, la la la la..... And with the light I wake up in the morning, And she has gone, it must have been a dream, And then I see the roses on my pillow, I read excerpts of this for a couple of my classes in college - it was nice to finally read this book in its entirety. For example, when talking about Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment," he calls Sonia Marmeladova Raskol'nikov's lover, which is incorrect and misleading. A cultural history of Russia that's immensely readable and absolutely exhaustively referenced: it's a goldmine of primary sources. An intense read but worth every minute if you want to understand Russia. He states that in Bulgakov's novel "The Heart of a Dog" a dog's organs were transplanted into a human being, when it was the other way around, hence the sense of disappointment implied in the title of the novel. He ascribes to Dobroliubov the authorship of the term "Oblomovism," when it was Goncharov who coined the term and used it in his novel "Oblomov" first, and Dobroliubov's article "What is 'Oblomovism'?" The Christian-anarchist politics do not get obstructed when the author bends down to look at Tolstoy desert his Polyana.

It wasn't necessarily 'bad' in most regards but it didn't stand out as being exceptional either.

The great tragedy of the communist political experiment was that it destroyed the cultural traditions in these areas drove the artists into ignominious graves. A great great introduction to Russian history and culture. I understand this is just supposed to be an overview of Russian culture and I did learn quite a bit from it but I think I would haDebating between a three and four star rating for this. History is a statement of facts, that is those that have not been suppressed in the archives. It was 1998 and the questions I asked did not make much sense, but ask I did before getting on with writing my piece. The book is chronological, starting from Peter the Great's demand for a more 'European' Russia and his construction of St Petersburg, and finishing up with Stravinsky's cathartic return to Russia in 1962.
Overall I enjoyed it, although I would only recommend it to people who already have at least a basic knowledge of Russian history. Figes heeds to the natural handicaps and behaves well with his audience - gentle and supportive.
