The proposed publication is not a standard textbook or a scientific treatise on the history of Russia or its culture. Suzanne Massi reflects on historical events that influenced the formation of the national character and folk traditions, about people who created beauty or supported the spark of creation in others, about the people and their rulers - about everything that she herself seems interesting and worthy of attention. The whole narrative, which grew, as the author says, from a series of lectures devoted to bright periods in the history of Russian culture, and therefore consisting of, as it were, scattered parts-chapters, creates a surprisingly integral impression. In this story, dynamic, figurative, emotional, the abundance of facts, eyewitness accounts, the associativity of author's thinking is striking. A subtle connoisseur of art, a brilliant journalist and writer who has seen many countries and peoples and has always been interested in issues of interaction and mutual influence of cultures, she sometimes sees what eludes our gaze.
