Description

Victor Berdinskikh, a well-known Russian historian and author of several dozen scholarly and popular books on Russian history and culture, has created this book in a way that continues the widely known remarkable work by Yu. M. Lotman "Conversations on Russian Culture." But unlike the studies of the outstanding cultural scholar, Professor Berdinskikh’s book is devoted to the history and culture of the 20th century. He turns to striking pages of the history of the Russian book, Russian poetry of the 20th century, the peasant civilization in Russia, the Russian national character, and the way ordinary people lived.

A vivid, lively, and imaginative language, along with an innovative and original way of thinking, make this book a true intellectual bestseller. At the same time, it is intended for a very broad audience: senior school students and university students, intellectuals and book lovers, teachers and local historians—everyone interested in the history of Russian culture of the past century.
