About the book: 2009 / Russia and England are so geographically distant that the first fifteen centuries of the new era knew practically nothing about each other. It would seem that the two great powers could have, if not friendly, then neutral relations. England never waged a full-scale war against Russia itself, but the secret war between the two great powers never ceased. Why has London always been so unfriendly towards Russia - Tsarist, Soviet and democratic? This and much more is described in the new book by historian A.B. Shirokorada.
