“Morozov’s book is a rich and insightful study of Russia’s peculiar relations with the West. It goes to the heart of Russia’s inferiority complex vis-à-vis the West by putting it in a global context. It is essential reading for anyone interested in Russian identity, foreign policy and politics.” (Alexander Titov, Slavonic and East European Review, Vol. 96 (2), April, 2018) ...

Its bold engagement with postcolonial theory and acquaintance with various strands of literature make it a fascinating read. … the book presents a new perspective on Russian–European relations, which makes it a mind-bending intellectual journey.” (Vsevolod Samokhvalov, Ab Imperio, Issue 1, 2016)   Show Less
