In this lively cultural history, Figes looks at both the great works by Russian masters and longstanding folk traditions. The title is drawn from a scene of Tolstoy's War and Peace in which a European-educated countess performs a peasant dance and the monumental work is dedicated to this tension between Asia and Europe, peasants and nobility.
