【愛播聽書FM】編輯談書 https://www.ibo.fm/index.php?s=/Goods/index/gid/14377/cid/128.html 俄國詩人布洛克(Alexander Blok, 1880-1921)在《野蠻人》詩中提及：「俄羅斯是個難解的迷。」英國首相邱吉爾在1946年的鐵幕演說中也提及蘇俄：「那是謎中之謎，外裹一層極具奧秘的謎語。」 隨著1991年底實行共產主義的蘇聯解體，我們開始得以無拘無束地踏入俄羅斯的領域，包括實質國土的領域與學術研究的領域。作者於1992年和1999年暑假兩次前往俄羅斯，親自體會了這個謎樣的國度。 本書始於俄國於862年建立第一個政府「基輔羅斯」，終於1999年12月31日葉爾欽辭去總統職務為止，依時間順序展開敘述，旁及各時期的政治、外交、經濟、社會、文化等各層面，希冀將俄羅斯千餘年來的發展特色呈現給讀者，為您解開俄羅斯的層層奧秘。

俄羅斯是個難解的謎。－－俄國詩人布洛克(Alexander Blok)l全新修訂：追加專文與後記，精闢分析烏俄戰爭局勢l 全臺獨家：唯一臺灣學者的俄羅斯史研究，最貼近臺灣讀者 l 脈絡清晰：從基輔羅斯建立開始談起，詳實精確敘述俄羅斯如何一步步邁向現代國家 從沙皇統治的廣袤帝國，一夜翻轉成無產階級的國度；曾經的共產世界領導者，在與自由世界的競爭中瓦解；從網友戲稱的「戰鬥民族」，到實際發動二戰以來規模最大的（俄烏）戰爭；俄羅斯對世界來說是一頭令人望而生畏的巨熊、是一場難以預測的寒風暴雪、是一道深奧難解的謎題。 ▍邁向帝國之路：從基輔羅斯到俄羅斯帝國 西元862年，斯拉夫人沿著洛瓦河流域建立基輔羅斯，彼時的羅斯僅僅只是維京人轄下的部落聯盟，距離繁強帝國甚遙。經歷內憂外患的相互傾軋，也曾受亞洲的蒙古人征服，作為金帳汗國成為蒙古帝國的一部分。經歷留里克王朝的王權集中與羅曼諾夫王朝的社會改革和開疆闢土，終使俄羅斯逐步建立起橫跨歐亞的龐大帝國。 ▍動盪淬鍊不凡：十九世紀俄羅斯黃金時代 自十九世紀以來，在亞歷山大二世治下的俄羅斯迎向政治、經濟、新聞及教育的諸多改革，在動盪不堪的帝國背後，卻同時俄羅斯迎向文學、音樂、繪畫最璀璨的黃金時代。杜斯妥也夫斯基、托爾斯泰等文學巨擘以猶勁的筆觸，揭露繁盛帝國背後的暗影。柴可夫斯基將傳統民族音樂融入作品，將充斥俄國國民性的創作發揚至全世界。而寫實主義畫家包括克拉姆斯科伊、列賓等人則以社會貧苦為顏料，在俄羅斯藝術史上描摹出人性的熠熠光輝。俄羅斯文采可觀的文學和優雅迷人的音樂、獨特神秘的宗教與文化，一再向世界展示其獨特豐厚的生命力量，堪比一口濃烈辛辣的伏特加。 1917年十月革命過後，看似推翻了專制王朝，然而社會主義蘇維埃控制下的俄羅斯社會，卻未迎接共產主義理想藍圖中的平等安定。繼任者面臨西方的衝擊與國內的挑戰聲浪，該如何帶領俄羅斯邁向國民和世界所期許的未來，直至今日仍然是艱難的課題。昔日帝國該走向何方？ 本書自862年基輔羅斯建立，至1999年底葉爾欽辭去總統職務為止，按照時序詳細梳理俄羅斯各階段的政治、社會、經濟以及文化狀況，更新增普丁統治至今的政治概況與俄烏戰爭歷史淵源的精闢分析，帶領讀者一探龐大的俄羅斯如何自歷史中脫胎，在歐亞之間崛起立足，成為世界強權的過程。
