Patterns of Russia shows how the public face of Russia developed and evolved through its distinct architecture, its astonishing art and its varied spaces. What emerges is a clear picture of how Russians fashioned their identity and the national monuments associated with it, in their setting – the Russian landscape – as well as elements of traditional material culture. Written in a concise and jargon-free style, tellingly illustrated, this book will appeal to all those with an interest in the history and culture of this complex country.

Robin Milner-Gulland is Emeritus Professor of Russian and East European Studies at the University of Sussex, and an eminent translator, author and editor of works on Russian topics. He is the author of Cultural Atlas of Russia and the Former Soviet Union (2nd edn, 2002), The Russians: The Peoples of Europe (1997) and Patterns of Russia: History, Culture, Spaces (Reaktion, 2020), and translator of Icon and Devotion (Reaktion, 2002).

From the outset, Robin Milner-Gulland’s approach to Russia’s extensive continental landmass as the locus for his cultural history of the country is both stimulating and informative . . . The book is excellently produced, generously illustrated, and benefits from a densely textured and elegantly written text which is further enhanced by the author’s personal experience of many of the spaces, places and artefacts he so assuredly adduces throughout.
