Natasha's Dance
Author: Orlando Figes
Format: Book
Description: Beginning in the eighteenth century with the building of St. Peterburg and culiminating with the Soviet regime, Figes eamines how writers, artists, and musicians grappled with the idea of Russia itself-its character, spiritual essence, and destiny. Skillfully interweaving the great works-by Dostoevsky, Stravinsky, and Chagall-with folk embroidery, peasant songs, religious icons, and all the customs of daily life, Figes reveals the spirit of "Russianness" as rich and uplifting, complex and contradictory-and more lasting than any Russian ruler or state.

The documentary chronicles Russian Prince Eugene Meshersky's struggle to resurrect his life while restoring his castle to its former glory in a tiny village outside of Moscow. Through the eyes of his tenant, his friends and his neighbors we get a rare account of what life is like for Russian people tucked away from the media's eye. The castle's ruins are a metaphor for the House of Russia, it's shattered dreams, ongoing struggle, and commitment to a better future. Ultimately, however, the story is a universal one about human resilience.
