This volume succinctly recounts this city's political, economic, and cultural history, spanning the rise and fall of Imperial Russian and the Soviet Union up to today's era of democracy. Featuring 50 illustrations and photographs, this book is the perfect introduction to a city that continues to play a major part in world events.
