What I’ve been reading (2022-04-01)

3. Ian Barnes, Restless Empire: A Historical Atlas of Russia .  One of the very most useful books for understanding Russian history — about half of this one is maps!  Changing maps over the ages.  These are the maps that Putin looks at, you should too.  A high quality book in all regards.

2. Restless Empire: A Historical Atlas of Russia , by Ian Barnes, Belknap Press.  This is not only one of the best introductions to Russian history, there are clear and excellent maps every two or three pages.  More history books should follow this standard.
