The city of Moscow stands at the centre of a nation comprising eleven percent of the globe’s landmass, 11 time zones and nearly 150 million people, some 13 million of whom live in the capital. In ‘A Kingdom and a Village’, historian Simon Morrison offers a vividly rendered history of Russia’s heart and soul, tracing its transformation from a ‘big village’ – the demeaning nickname the St. Peterburg nobility gave to its provincial neighbour – into a spectacular metropolis of vast geopolitical import.
