Russia's rulers have always staged themselves as all-powerful autocrats. Is it all just a façade? Since Peter I, the Russian multi-ethnic empire has been ruled by improvisation. How did the tsars and their bureaucracy manage to hold their multi-ethnic empire together so successfully for two centuries? Jörg Baberowski, historian and researcher into violence, tells Russia's history from the perspective of rule and its constraints. In his brilliantly written new book (C.H.Beck), he reports on past crises and how they were overcome, pointing beyond Russia and into the challenges of our present.
