A landmark work in the Library of European Civilization series, Russia and Europe presents a sweeping historical analysis of Russia's complex and often turbulent relationship with Western Europe across the centuries. Reinhard Wittram, a distinguished German historian, argues that Russia's identity was perpetually shaped by the push and pull between its Eastern roots and its ambitions for European modernisation. The work chronicles pivotal moments of cultural exchange, political confrontation, and ideological divergence that defined the Russian state from its early formation through to the modern era. Richly illustrated with 84 images — 8 in colour — the book illustrates key figures, events, and artistic movements that illuminate this enduring geopolitical tension. Authoritative in tone yet accessible in style, it remains an essential reference for anyone seeking to understand the historical forces that placed Russia at the crossroads of two worlds.
