How space created Russia.
Russian history is often understood through its ideologies and heads of state, but the real protagonist is the Eurasian space. In my review for Aldo Ferrari's monography "Russia. History of an Eurasian Empire", I explore:
🔹 How geography and imperial (not 'imperialist') structure have shaped the Russian state in a unique way;
🔹 How the "mystique of space" has been crucial in shaping its identity;
🔹 Why this interpretation is crucial to understanding the current foreign policy of the Russian Federation.
These concepts are fundamental for scholars of global history and geopolitics.
