A fascinating story about an extremely diverse and surprisingly interesting country, a kind of European Atlantis, far less known to Russian readers than it deserves. The Habsburg Empire has long since disappeared from maps; the First World War destroyed what was perhaps the most comfortable empire in history, but the experience of coexistence accumulated by its peoples remains relevant to Central Europe. This edition of the book, supplemented by the authors' impressions from a meeting with the head of the imperial house, Karl von Habsburg, materials from new travels through the former territories of Austria-Hungary, and an analysis of the relevant literature of recent years, confirms that bygone times resonate even today.
