No other country has been so divided over its own past as Russia. How the Russians came to tell their story, and to reinvent it as they went along, is a vital aspect of their history. To understand what Russia's future holds, we need to unravel the meanings of that history.

In The Story of Russia, Orlando Figes illuminates the vibrant characters of Russia's rich history - from the crowning of Ivan the Terrible in a candlelit cathedral, to Catherine the Great riding out to arrest her husband at his palace, to the bitter last days of the Romanovs.
