A History of Russia (2005)

Russia is the largest country on the planet, a multi-ethnic empire, a great power of global significance. For much of its history it has been a 'peasant state', in which peasant society and values interacted critically with those of the ruling elites. In modern times its society has produced artists, writers, musicians, scientists and cosmonauts who have made a unique contribution to world culture. In the twentieth century, Russia has been the scene of the world's greatest social experiment - the most powerful challenge ever mounted to hegemonic Western values. Roger Bartlett traces the history of the country from its beginnings in Kiev Russia, through the Muscovite and Imperial, Soviet and post-Soviet periods, to the start of the twenty-first century. While offering a broad perspective on Russia's historical development, Bartlett focuses on the origins of Russian political culture and the place of the majority peasant population in the Russian/Soviet polity. Lucid, balanced and authoritative, it is the ideal introduction for all those with an interest in Russia's past, and its significance for the country's present.… (plus d'informations)

I perfectly understand that it is indeed hard to sum up the whole story of a nation in about 300 pages: many facts have to be just mentioned, others not even written. It's almost a crime to reduce the life of so many people in just a couple of lines.
But it's even a bigger crime making everything so confusing and mixed up that the only think I was thinking while reading it was: boring. ( )

E’ vero che la Russia è entrata nella storia con un certo ritardo e i documenti dei primi secoli sono lacunosi, ma la compressione delle vicende dell’immenso Paese in trecento pagine scarse fa pensare che si potrebbe far precedere al titolo le parole ‘Introduzione alla’. Tanto più che oltre un terzo dello spazio è occupato dal Novecento, con la parabola del totalitarismo comunista analizzata in un dettaglio che sovente non è presente nella rievocazione dei secoli precedenti: l’esperienza sovietica è narrata con dovizia di particolari illustrandone gli effetti su tutte le componenti della società e sottolinenadone le eco, che in essa si possono rinvenire, del passato assolutismo zarista. Come detto, lo stesso discorso non si può fare per quanto riguarda i periodi più lontani nel tempo, per i quali rimane diverso il livello di approfondimento: se la cosa è scusabile per le origini, situate pressappoco all’inizio del secondo millennio dell’era volgare, meno comprensibili paiono quelle accelerazioni che a volte comprimono i momenti successivi, compresi quelli che vanno da Pietro il Grande alla fine dell’Ottocento, seguendo di preferenza l’evoluzione politica a scapito di quella sociale e culturale. Ciò non toglie che, considerando il volume come un primo contatto con un universo di cui conosciamo troppo poco e malgrado alcune cartine di quasi impossibile decifrazione, il libro risulti interessante e sappia far appassionare il lettore al suo oggetto grazie a una scrittura che evita ogni pedanteria e scorre con una più che discreta fluidità: per gli approfondimenti ci sono invece i numerosi testi che l’autore elenca nella sezione dedicata alle ‘ulteriori letture’ posta al termine del saggio.
