Russia: Riddle, Mystery & Enigma with Lord David Owen.

Britain’s relationship with Russia has varied dramatically over the last two centuries; battling each other in the Crimean War, allying together against Nazi Germany, then regarding one another with growing suspicion.

Lord David Owen – politician, author, and historian – explores the events of the last 200 years, the characters involved and the results of the successes and failures in diplomacy.

It of course comes at a time when relations between Putin’s Russia and Britain are at an historic low, after the Salisbury poisoning and as Russia seeks to reassert its power on the world stage. Exploring military, geopolitical, and diplomatic history, Riddle, Mystery, and Enigma is the first full account of the historical relationship between Britain and Russia.
