Critic Review:

‘Superb’
Orlando Figes, Sunday Telegraph

‘The most up-to-date, comprehensive one-volume history of Russia in print’
Steven Merritt Miner, The New York Times Book Review

‘Magnificent … Hosking’s scholarship and understanding of the Russian mind bring stimulating enlightenment to every page’
Alan Palmer, Literary Review

‘If there is one British writer who has stood firm against one-dimensional accounts of Russia in history and the present, it is Geoffrey Hosking … covers the entire period from the foundation of the first Slavic princedom in Kiev through to the Russian Federation of Vladimir Putin … a lively account, and a substantial contribution to discussions about present-day Russia’
Robert Service, Independent

‘Remarkable … When writing about Russia, non-Russian historians tend to either pander or patronize. Not so Geoffrey Hosking … He writes like a master’
Adam Zamoyski, Sunday Times

‘If you can only buy one book on Russia, this is the one to buy … [it] meets a genuine need and the author is be congratulated on his work’
Contemporary Review
