RUSSIANUK: BOOKS
Russia: A World Apart is a haunting evocation of the ruined country estates of the Russian aristocracy of the 18th and 19th centuries. Revolution, civil war, invasion, anarchy and casual indifference have con- spired against many of the grand buildings of Russia’s rich and complex past which have perhaps suffered more than in any other country. While the architectural riches of the two great cities of Moscow and St Petersburg still exist for every- one to see, when photographer Simon Marsden and author Duncan McLaren entered the Russian countryside, away from the obvious tourist trails, they encountered a very different world. This book, the result of four trips undertaken by Marsden and McLaren to the Moscow and St Petersburg regions, illustrates a diverse mix of pre- revolutionary buildings and memorials, manor houses, palaces, churches, statuary and tombs, interspersed with more recent monuments from Soviet times. The publication also serves as a tribute to Sir Simon Marsden, Bt. who died aged 63 in January 2012. Duncan McLaren, former direc- tor of
