This is a brilliant dual study of Russia's people and empire under the Tsars, offering a fine starting point for anyone who wishes to grasp the uneasy relationship between empire, state and nation in Russian history. It is a tour de force of historical argument, intelligent and lucid, passionately argumentative, but always fair, which should be read by everyone who wants to understand the origins of Russia's predicament today.
