Description

London: Allen Lane, 2013. xvii, 506pp, index, further reading, notes, col ills, maps, col endpaper maps. Gray cloth in jacket. Slight bubbling of cloth to front board, otherwise excellent. A history of the Kremlin overmany centuries. From its deepest basements to the red star on the Saviour Tower, the Kremlin preserves traces of all its roles from sacred Orthodox religious site to tyrant's lair, from sumptuous palace to greasy Bolshevik canteen. One of the few medieval buildings in the world to maintain it original late medieval function: as a palace, built to intimidate the ruler's subjects and frighten foreign emissaries- nearly as potent under Putin as it was under ealier inhabitants.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo.
