Opening with a panorama of Russian society, from the cloistered world of the Tsar to the brutal life of the peasants, A People’s Tragedy follows workers, soldiers, intellectuals and villagers as their world is consumed by revolution and then degenerates into violence and dictatorship. Drawing on vast original research, Figes conveys above all the shocking experience of the revolution for those who lived it, while providing the clearest and most cogent account of how and why it unfolded.

Beginning in the 18th century with the building of St. Petersburg - a 'window on the West' - and culminating with the challenges posed to Russian identity by the Soviet regime, Figes examines how writers, artists, and musicians grappled with the idea of Russia itself - its character, spiritual essence and destiny. He skillfully interweaves the great works - by Dostoevsky, Stravinsky, and Chagall - with folk embroidery, peasant songs, religious icons and all the customs of daily life, from food and drink to bathing habits to beliefs about the spirit world.

La historia de Rusia se ha visto marcada como pocas por el empleo de mitos con fines políticos. Ningún otro país ha reinventado su propio relato con tanta frecuencia, en un esfuerzo perpetuo por adaptarse a los cambios de las ideologías dominantes, y esa tendencia es precisamente un aspecto vital de su cultura. Para comprender lo que depara el futuro del país—y lo que significa el régimen de Putin para Rusia y para el resto del mundo—debemos desentrañar las ideas y los significados de esa historia.

O pai ta on, dizem 9 a cada 10 jogadores de futebol. Mas o que vemos, quase sempre, é que o pai tá longe. Longe do ideal, e muitas vezes longe, literalmente, dos seus próprios filhos. Os mesmos pais que se dizem "on" se recusam a pagar pensão, quanto mais todo o resto. Mas onde é que está o pai que a gente desejaria pra nós? O patriarcado não presta, mas e a paternidade? O que é que a gente faz com ela? Pra que serve, afinal, um pai? Gregório Duvivier é pai de duas meninas e ainda está tentando entender o que isso significa.

Mitreißend, prägnant und menschlich berührend erzählt Orlando Figes die Geschichte Russlands.

Drawing on a huge range of sources - letters, memoirs, conversations - Orlando Figes tells the story of how Russians tried to endure life under Stalin. Those who shaped the political system became, very frequently, its victims. Those who were its victims were frequently quite blameless. The Whisperers recreates the sort of maze in which Russians found themselves, where an unwitting wrong turn could either destroy a family or, perversely, later save it: a society in which everyone spoke in whispers - whether to protect themselves, their families, neighbours or friends - or to inform on them.

In 1946, after five years as a prisoner - first as a Soviet POW in Nazi concentration camps, then as a deportee in the Arctic Gulag - 29-year-old Lev Mishchenko unexpectedly received a letter from Sveta, the sweetheart he had hardly dared hope was still alive. Amazingly, over the next eight years, the lovers managed to exchange more than 1,500 messages and even to smuggle Sveta herself into the camp for secret meetings. Their recently discovered correspondence is the only known real-time record of life in Stalin's Gulag.

The terrible conflict that dominated the mid-19th century, the Crimean War, killed at least 800,000 men and pitted Russia against a formidable coalition of Britain, France and the Ottoman Empire. It was a war for territory, provoked by fear that if the Ottoman Empire were to collapse then Russia could control a huge swathe of land from the Balkans to the Persian Gulf. But it was also a war of religion, driven by a fervent, populist and ever more ferocious belief by the Tsar and his ministers that it was Russia's task to rule all Orthodox Christians and control the Holy Land.
