The author delves into the origins and evolution of Russia's notion of greatness, the theatrical elements of its power display, and the challenges it faces in modernizing while maintaining its identity. The book also discusses the rise and fall of international socialist greatness in Russia and the implications of its great power rhetoric in the post-Soviet era.
