Interpretive history of Russian thought and culture designed to provide new information and interpretation and not merely to codify an already established consesus. The period under discussion is the last six hundred years, during which time Russia has emerged as a distinctive civilization.
First sentence: REDUCED TO ITS SIMPLEST OUTLINE, Russian culture is a tale of three cities: Kiev, Moscow, and St. Petersburg.
