A History of Russia: Vol. II Since 1855

Om boken

This two-volume text focuses on three main topics: the struggle for and against political authority,the expansion and contraction of Russia and its dealings with non-Russian nationalities and foreign powers,and the life and culture of the Russian people. This approach contributes to the book's stress on the continuities in Russian history from its beginnings to the mid 1990's. The text provides a balanced and comprehensive coverage of political,economic,social,cultural,and intellectual history.
