Summary: 5 Stars
From the first intriguing segue from title to text, Figes draws the reader into a compelling over-view of Russia's rich culture, its diversities and its cruelties. An example of sound scholarship, historical perspective, and blessedly fine writing style, Natasha's Dance gives the reader a profound vision of the complex artistic production of this struggling country. As Figes points out, not only do artists manage to continue their creative work during its troubled history, but seem almost to rise above and thrive on hardship.Only a writer and scholar of true merit could swim through the often murky, often shimmering centuries of Russian thought and its productive Godchild, art.
