"A magisterial, richly detailed history of the Kremlin, and of the centuries of Russian elites who have shaped it -- and been shaped by it in turn. // The Kremlin is the heart of the Russian state, a fortress whose blood-red walls have witnessed more than eight hundred years of political drama and extraordinary violence. It has been the seat of a priestly monarchy and a worldly church; it has served as a crossroads for diplomacy, trade, and espionage; it has survived earthquakes, devastating fires, and at least three revolutions. Its very name is a byword for enduring power. From Ivan the Terrible to Vladimir Putin, generations of Russian leaders have sought to use the Kremlin to legitimize their vision of statehood. // Drawing on a dazzling array of sources from hitherto unseen archives and rare collections, renowned historian Catherine Merridale traces the full history of this enigmatic fortress. The Kremlin has inspired innumerable myths, but no invented tales could be more dramatic than the operatic successions and savage betrayals that took place within its vast compound of palaces and cathedrals. Today, its sumptuous golden crosses and huge electric red stars blaze side by side as the Kremlin fulfills its centuries-old role, linking the country´s recent history to its distant past and proclaiming the eternal continuity of the Russian state. // More than an absorbing history of Russia´s most famous landmark, Red Fortress uses the Kremlin as a unique lens, bringing into focus the evolution of Russia´s culture and the meaning of its politics.". First Edition. Paperback. Very Good/No Dj. 8vo.

The extraordinary story of the Kremlin - from prize-winning author and historian Catherine Merridale Both beautiful and profoundly menacing, the Kremlin has dominated Moscow for many centuries. Behind its great red walls and towers many of the most startling events in Russia's history have been acted out. It is both a real place and an imaginative idea; a shorthand for a certain kind of secretive power, but also the heart of a specific Russian authenticity. Catherine Merridale's exceptional book revels in both the drama of the Kremlin and its sheer unexpectedness: an impregnable fortress which has repeatedly been devastated, a symbol of all that is Russian substantially created by Italians. The many inhabitants of the Kremlin have continually reshaped it to accord with shifting ideological needs, with buildings conjured up or demolished to conform with the current ruler's social, spiritual, military or regal priorities. In the process, all have claimed to be the heirs of Russia's great historic destiny.Soort: Met illustraties;Taal: Engels;Afmetingen: 24x244x144 mm;Gewicht: 526,00 gram;Verschijningsdatum: november 2014;Druk: 1;ISBN10: 1250056144;ISBN13: 9781250056146; Engelstalig | Paperback | 2014.
