A Short History of Russia by Mark Galeotti
3.0
Really nice book about the history of russia - nothing more, nothing less! I liked the whole theme of the “Russia vs the West” thing it had going on throughout the entire thing, as well as the thing about the Ryurikid dynaaty and the Romanovs!! Liked the whole analysis about Putin in the end as well and how it ties back to the beginning of Russia.
What I enjoyed MOST and what this book definitely wasn’t about was the fun linguistic connections!!! Its so fun seeing how language connects across borders!! There were only about two examples in the whole 200 pages and yet they stood out to me the most!! (linguistics nerd)
