The author is a stand-up comedian, so expect a little joke sprinkled in now and then, but it is a serious history book. It is an entertaining reference book giving an introductory capsule for various characters of Russian History. Read about the Tsar who propsed marriage to a painting, the first woman in space or the General who tried to stop the Petrograd revolt against 100,000 to one odds. Mike can be very opinionated. That means this book is not boring.
