Ende Februar 1917: In den Palästen Petrograds wird getanzt und in den Opern gesungen, während sich auf den Straßen die Proteste ausweiten und die staatliche Ordnung in Bedrängnis gerät. Doch weil der Innenminister glaubt, alles im Griff zu haben, verlässt der Zar mit seinem glamourösen Hofzug die Hauptstadt.

Beginning in the 18th century with the building of St. Petersburg - a 'window on the West' - and culminating with the challenges posed to Russian identity by the Soviet regime, Figes examines how writers, artists, and musicians grappled with the idea of Russia itself - its character, spiritual essence and destiny. He skillfully interweaves the great works - by Dostoevsky, Stravinsky, and Chagall - with folk embroidery, peasant songs, religious icons and all the customs of daily life, from food and drink to bathing habits to beliefs about the spirit world.
