The new book of the famous British Russianist and Sovietologist Jeffrey Hoskin - the author of a number of fundamental works and textbooks on the history of Russia and the Soviet Union - a kind of continuation of his work "Russia: the people and the empire, 1552-1917", but reveals the topic in a new perspective and Dedicated mainly to the position of Russians as a nation within Soviet Russia and the USSR throughout their revenge of the cataclysms of history. Who were the Russians for the Soviet Union - the cruel enslavers of other peoples or, together with the latter - victims of a large -scale inhuman experiment? The collapse of the USSR became for them a loss of themselves or liberation? The book shows that the Russian national identity is a vague concept containing a number of aspects that are not easy to bring into line with each other, even when analyzing the problem with ethnic, "imperial, civil and cultural points of view. The author’s focus is the personal experiences and feelings of the Russians and the unofficial side of their life, examined by a foreign historian from the side, which sheds a new and unexpected color on a seemingly familiar theme of the topic of personal experience
