Book Review: Een kleine geschiedenis van Rusland


The author paid great attention to the early Rus and following Russian Empire but fails to reflect the Soviet Era which contributed greatly to modern Russia and the formation of modern Russian society and norms.

Post Soviet period is even worse. The 2008 and 2014 Russian wars were mentioned in 1 line.

The author fails to give background info and reasoning about that is going on (RU-UA) war.

If you are already informed in Russian history then this book is not for you, it is a bit light reading. 

I read this books with 2 things in mind, I know a bit  Russian history (see my previous posts under book review label ) and I am trying to learn Dutch so a Dutch language book on Russian history was an relatively easy read.

Here is a list of some series that i liked:
