The Russians by Robin Milner-Gulland

This book examines the history of the Russian peoples from the time of the first inhabitants of Old Russia, or Rus, up to the present day.
"Milner-Gulland's strength lies in his ability to write with equal facility and conviction about literature and the visual arts, about the fourteenth or the twentieth century, a strength underpinned by a reluctance to compartmentalize the arts with conventional historical periodization.. I can think of few better books for opening doors into a fascinating but often misunderstood world." Seer
