Condemned by the Soviets to the fl list of forbidden publications, these journals of the French aristocrat who visited Russia in 1839 were first published in France in 1843.
Long recognised as one of the most fascinating and revealing impressions of Russia by a foreigner, they abound in observations on the social, political and religious state and prospects of mid-nineteenth century Russia leading Custine to dire forebodings.
Custine's conviction that as long as Russians remained enslaved, isolated and deceived by ambitious rulers they would remain a menace to the rest of the world, will strike a chord with all of us today.

 Letters from Russia - Marquis De Custine - Anka Muhlstein
An authoritative edition of Astolphe de Custine's scathing, insightful -- and observant -- account of the people, culture and politics of St. Petersburg and Moscow circa 1839.
George Kennan called this book the best thing ever written about Russia, no doubt in part because of de Custine's trenchant observations on Russian despotism (the Soviets also banned the book).
This is the 1843 translation, edited, revised and with an introduction by de Custine's biographer, Anka Muhlstein.
