"In many ways, modern Russia is one of the few countries today that seeks to preserve what remains of European high culture." One more reason for the woke western elite to hate russians. Plus as white people they are perfect to be cast as villains.

I could study the maps and images all day long. You are correct that most of us who know anything about this period know it from Hopkirk's gems and dusty British travel logs. (I still have a box of them somewhere in the barn.) So great to learn something of the other side. Thanks for this treat.
