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.
