    Description

    Bloomsbury presents The Story of Russia by Orlando Figes, read by David Sibley.

    From the great storyteller of Russia, a spellbinding account of the stories that have shaped the country’s past—and how they can inform its present.

    No other country has been so divided over its own past as Russia. None has changed its story so often. How the Russians came to tell their story, and to reinvent it as they went along, is a vital aspect of their history, their culture and beliefs. To understand what Russia’s future holds—to grasp what Putin’s regime means for Russia and the world—we need to unravel the ideas and meanings of that history.

    In The Story of Russia, Orlando Figes brings into sharp relief the vibrant characters that comprise Russia’s rich history, and whose stories remain so important in making sense of the world’s largest nation today—from the crowning of sixteen-year-old Ivan the Terrible in a candlelit cathedral, to Catherine the Great, riding out in a green uniform to arrest her husband at his palace, to the bitter last days of the Romanovs.

    Beautifully written and based on a lifetime of scholarship, The Story of Russia is a major and definitive work from the great storyteller of Russian history: sweeping, suspenseful, masterful.

    Required reading to understand Russia

    The sum of the parts make up the whole and by understanding the parts making up Russia helps to understand the whole of where it finds itself.

    Well taught History

    I am grateful to Orlando Figes because after reading and listening to THE STORY OF RUSSIA and A PEOPLE’S TRAGEDY, I’ve come to liking a subject I used to hate when at school.

    the book that Is needed

    I was a bit sceptical about the author ( controverse in the past did damage his reputation quite a bit) but I must say this is a very good and insightful book about Russia, it's rulers and it's people. it is up to date ( until April 2022) it's accessable, it doesn't sugarcoat events, and you learn quite a lot. The voice reading was excellent , I did speed up a little (1,05x).

    Great for people who don’t want to feel left out when discussing Russia

    A great overview of the Russian story, allows the reader to think deeply on the existential issues of the contemporary bastard-State of Russia. After finishing the book, the reader will be able to understand the current Russian state and most likely the reader will feel compelled to go deeper into the regime of Putin!
