Description
In this fascinating study, Hélène Carrère d’Encausse seeks an historical explanation for the endless affliction which seems to plague Russia. The decomposition and re-composition of its vast expanses; the rise and fall of its totalitarian leaders; the temptation and rejection of European alliance; a fear of outsiders resulting in expansion and aggression: these are the elements which must be taken into account in order to understand the position Russia finds itself in today. In examining key periods of Russian history, Carrère d’Encausse seeks to answer the ominous question: is there any hope for Russia?
