"Lost Kingdom is an erudite exploration of the contradictions of Russian nationalism…A master historian on top of his game, Serhii Plokhy lays out the challenges this past presents for transforming Russia into a better country for its people and its neighbors.”
Odd Arne Westad, author of The Cold War
From a preeminent scholar of Eastern Europe and New York Times bestselling author, the essential history of Russian imperialism.
"A singularly fascinating account of Russian nationalism through the ages." —Financial Times
In 2014, Russia annexed the Crimea and attempted to seize a portion of Ukraine—only the latest iteration of a centuries-long effort to expand Russian boundaries and create a pan-Russian nation. In Lost Kingdom, award-winning historian Serhii Plokhy argues that we can only understand the confluence of Russian imperialism and nationalism today by delving into the nation's history. Spanning over 500 years, from the end of the Mongol rule to the present day, Plokhy shows how leaders from Ivan the Terrible to Joseph Stalin to Vladimir Putin exploited existing forms of identity, warfare, and territorial expansion to achieve imperial supremacy.
An authoritative and masterful account of Russian nationalism, Lost Kingdom chronicles the story behind Russia's belligerent empire-building quest.
