Description

This fascinating and provocative book dispels our misconceptions about Russia's past - Lara Douds, Times Higher Education.

Russia is an extraordinary country, the largest in the world. Whether European or exotic, strong and weak, brilliant and flawed. Why do we fear it so much? We continue to judge it by unique standards.

We often assume it possesses higher levels of intrigue, malice, and barbarity. However, the country has often been a crucial ally, especially against Napoleon and in both world wars. We admire its music and writers. We offer paeans to the Russian soul. Yet, we continue to see it as a unique threat. What causes such excessive reactions? And why is this dangerous?

From its early years to today, Mark B. Smith's remarkable new book is a story of this "Russian Anxiety." Whether ally or foe, superpower or vulnerable state, Russia holds our imagination and fuels our fears like no other country. This book shows how history offers a clearer perspective and a better future.
