Lost Kingdom: The Quest for Empire and the Making of the Russian Nation by Serhii Plokhy
4.0
Very interesting book (I listened to the audiobook). Of all the books I’ve recently read about Ukraine or Russia, I found this title and Timothy Snyder’s The Road to Unfreedom the most illuminating in terms of Putin’s world view and actions in Feb/March 2022.
This Politico interview with Fiona Hill inspired me to read about the history of Kyiv in the Russian empire. Note that I don’t support the Russian war — I stand with Ukraine.
