The history of Russia - from Kievan Rus to Vladimir Putin
Russia: A History cuts through the myths and mystery that have surrounded Russia from its earliest days, with startling revelations from
classified archives that until comparatively recently were not even known to exist.
A distinguished team of historians has stripped away the propaganda and preconceptions of the past to tell the definitive story of Russia, from tenth-century Kiev and Muscovy through empire and revolution to the fall of Communism and the 'new order' of the 1990s and early 21st century. A compelling story in its own right, it is essential reading for anyone with an interest in Russia and its place in the world.
This updated edition now covers the developments in the Putin era in the first decade of the 21st century.Readership: General readers interested in European/Russian history;
students (high school and university); teachers; journalists and authors wanting an accessible overview; travellers to Russia
