It is impossible to understand today’s world without understanding Russia – and you can never truly know Russia without knowing its uniquely beguiling and elusive capital city. Moskva, a big village, the Third Rome. From provincial fort to vast metropolis of immense geopolitical power, this is the spellbinding story of Moscow and an essential guide to a people and a nation.
Drawing on a rich array of rarely seen records, acclaimed historian Simon Morrison traces a thousand years of Moscow’s history – through invasions, war and peace; through famines, fires and pestilence; through tsars, revolutionaries and autocrats. A Kingdom and a Village unlocks the mysteries of Russia’s past and the grim logic of its present like never before.
