Lost Kingdom: The Quest for Empire and the Making of the Russian Nation de Serhii Plokhy

Lost Kingdom: The Quest for Empire and the Making of the Russian Nation

Autor Serhii Plokhy
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 oct 2017
From a preeminent scholar of Eastern Europe, a new history of Russian imperialism

In 2014, Russia annexed the Crimea and attempted to seize a portion of Ukraine. While the world watched in outrage, this blatant violation of national sovereignty was only the latest iteration of a centuries-long effort to expand Russian boundaries and create a pan-Russian nation.

InLost Kingdom, award-winning historian Serhii Plokhy argues that we can only understand the confluence of Russian imperialism and nationalism today by delving into the nation's history. Spanning over 500 years, from the end of the Mongol rule to the present day, Plokhy shows how leaders from Ivan the Terrible to Joseph Stalin to Vladimir Putin exploited existing forms of identity, warfare, and territorial expansion to achieve imperial supremacy.

An authoritative and masterful account of Russian nationalism,Lost Kingdomchronicles the story behind Russia's belligerent empire-building quest.

Recenzii

"Plokhy eloquently relatesthe historical ebbs and flows of Russian nationalism and imperialism... [his] thoroughhistorical analysis places President Vladimir Putin's 21st-century foreignpolicy in a firm historical context."—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"A timely work ofimpeccable research that elucidates the Russian impulse toward regaining lostlands under a powerful myth of origins.... Plokhy continues to show that he is themaster of this terrain."—Kirkus Reviews
"InLost Kingdom, Serhii Plokhy does for Russia what only great historians can do--make the connections between the distant past and vital present feel relevant and alive. He brings Russia's centuries of struggle with nationalism and imperialism into the near focus of Vladimir Putin's ongoing invasion of Ukraine and annexation of Crimea.Lost Kingdomcarefully and colorfully relates how the fires of history and myth burned from before the first tsars to Peter the Great, through the Bolsheviks, World War II, and the fall of the Soviet Union. With Russia everywhere in the news today, and every pundit pretending to be an expert,Lost Kingdomis essential reading for those wishing to understand Russia beyond the headlines."
—Garry Kasparov, author ofWinter Is Coming: Why Vladimir Putin and the Enemies of the Free World Must Be Stopped
"Lost Kingdomis an erudite exploration of the contradictions of Russian nationalism, whose history shows it to be both inclusive and exclusive, universalistic and identitarian, often in quick succession or even simultaneously. A master historian on top of his game, Serhii Plokhy lays out the challenges this past presents for transforming Russia into a better country for its people and its neighbors."
—Odd Arne Westad, author ofThe Cold War: A World History
