‘How long can events from a distant past influence a nation’s behavior patterns and decision-making on the international stage? The answer is: centuries. In their book, Martti J. Kari and Antero Holmila describe how Russia’s current mindset is shaped by events that date back to the Mongol invasion, suggesting that our large neighbor remains a prisoner of its history. This insightful analysis helps to uncover the roots of the conflicts between Ukraine and Russia, the attitudes we should adopt towards developments in Russia, and what to consider when thinking about the future. The arguments presented in the book clarify Russia’s behavior at both individual and societal levels.’ —Piret Veigel, Senior Editor, Postimees publishing, Estonia
