Russian Berlin

Before the partitioning of the continent, Berlin was the trading centre between Russia and Western Europe. Its unique East-Western symbiosis – shaped by artists, revolutionaries, businessmen – contributed greatly to the German capital's reputation as a European metropolis. In the 21st century, Berlin begins to mediate between East and West once more. And Karl Schlögel's classic on Berlin's "Russian years" is newly-available in a hardcover edition.
