Literature is often the preferred medium when conveying wartime experiences.

Some good literature about invasions of Russia are

War and Peace (duh)

Operation Barbarossa: Nazi Germany's War in the East (for those into WW2)

The Battle that Shook Europe (relevant to the meme)

So yeah, literature does have a lot to do with invading Russia :)

The books by Peter Englund are great, but unfortunately from a look at Amazon the only book available in English seems to be the one on Poltava. Not a bad start, but more narrow in focus than his other works. There are a few other of his books that are available in German if that is of any help.

Thank you for showing interest!

Here's a book concerning the battle of Poltava which was well received when it came out in Sweden.

The Battle that Shook Europe: Poltava and the Birth of the Russian Empire by Peter Englund

Myself I haven't read it but I am reading another book by Peter called Ofredsår and I love the book, but I couldn't find the English translation online...

Anyhow, good luck!
