A distinguished team of historians has stripped away the propaganda 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 early 21st century. What emerges is a nation of extremes--of imperial opulence and abject poverty, tyrannical power and subversive resistance, artistic achievement and economic crisis, glittering cities and frozen steppes. 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 illuminating history traces these dramatic cycles of boom and bust from the late Neolithic age to Ivan the Terrible, and from the height of Communism to the truncated Russia of today.</P><P> Philip Longworth explores the dynamics of Russia’s past through time and space, from the nameless adventurers who first penetrated this vast, inhospitable terrain to a cast of dynamic characters that includes Ivan the Terrible, Catherine the Great, and Stalin. His narrative takes in the magnificent, historic cities of Kiev, Moscow, and St. Petersburg; it stretches to Alaska in the east, to the Black Sea and the Ottoman Empire to the south, to the Baltic in the west and to Archangel and the Artic Ocean to the north.</P><P> Who are the Russians and what is the source of their imperialistic culture? Why was Russia so driven to colonize and conquer? From Kievan Rus’---the first-ever Russian state, which collapsed with the invasion of the Mongols in the thirteenth century---to ruthless Muscovy, the Russian Empire of the eighteenth century and finally the Soviet period, this groundbreaking study analyses the growth and dissolution of each vast empire as it gives way to the next.</P><P> Refreshing in its insight and drawing on a vast range of scholarship, this book also explicitly addresses the question of what the future holds for Russia and her neighbors, and asks whether her sphere of influence is growing. </P></DIV></DIV></DIV></FONT></TD></TR></TABLE></TD></TR></TABLE><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=1 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=1><TR><TD><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=1 CELLPADDING=3 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=0 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"><TR><TD ALIGN="LEFT"><H3 ALIGN="CENTER"><A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Russia-New-History-Abraham-Ascher/dp/1851686134%3FSubscriptionId%3D1PBBW85R76PQTM62KDG2%26tag%3Danswers2000limit%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1851686134" onmouseover="window.status='Russia, New Edition: A Short History';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;" TARGET="_top">Russia, New Edition: A Short History</A></H3></TD></TR></TABLE><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=2 CELLPADDING=5 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=0 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"><TR><TD WIDTH="50%" VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial,Verdana" SIZE="2">By Abraham Ascher<BR><BR>Oneworld<BR>Paperback (288 pages)<BR><BR><CENTER><A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Russia-New-History-Abraham-Ascher/dp/1851686134%3FSubscriptionId%3D1PBBW85R76PQTM62KDG2%26tag%3Danswers2000limit%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1851686134" onmouseover="window.status='Russia, New Edition: A Short History';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;" TARGET="_top"><IMG SRC="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Nyj9D7UKL._SL160_.jpg" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="160" BORDER="0" ALT="Russia, New Edition: A Short History"></A></CENTER></FONT></TD><TD WIDTH="50%" VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="Arial,Verdana" SIZE="2">List Price: $19.95<SUP>*</SUP><BR>Lowest New Price: <B>$11.07</B><SUP>*</SUP><BR>Lowest Used Price: $7.57<SUP>*</SUP><BR>Usually ships in 24 hours<SUP>*</SUP><BR><SUP>*</SUP><SMALL>(As of 15:47 Pacific 4 Feb 2012 <A HREF="javascript:alert('Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change.

Here, over more than a thousand years, the history and destiny of Russia have unfolded. In a sweeping narrative, one of the English-speaking world's leading historians of Russia follows this story from the first emergence of the Slavs in the historical record in the sixth century <span class="era">C.E.</span> to the Russians' persistent appearances in today's headlines. Hosking's is a monumental story of competing legacies, of an enormous power uneasily balanced between the ideas and realities of Asian empire, European culture, and Byzantine religion; of a constantly shifting identity, from Kievan Rus to Muscovy to Russian Empire to Soviet Union to Russian Federation, and of Tsars and leaders struggling to articulate that identity over the centuries. </p><p> With particular attention to non-Russian regions and ethnic groups and to Russia's relations with neighboring polities, Hosking lays out the links between political, economic, social, and cultural phenomena that have made Russia what it is--a world at once familiar and mysterious to Western observers. In a clear and engaging style, he conducts us through the Mongol invasions, the rise of autocracy, the reigns of Ivan the Terrible and Peter the Great, the battle against Napoleon, the emancipation of the serfs, the Crimean War, the Bolshevik Revolution, Stalin's reign of terror, the two World Wars, the end of the USSR, to today's war against Chechnya. Hosking's history is shot through with the understanding that becoming an empire has prevented Russia from becoming a nation and has perpetuated archaic personal forms of power. This book is the most penetrating and comprehensive account yet of what such a legacy has meant--to Russia, and to the world. </p> (20010415)</FONT></TD></TR></TABLE></TD></TR></TABLE><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=1 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=1><TR><TD><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=1 CELLPADDING=3 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=0 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"><TR><TD ALIGN="LEFT"><H3 ALIGN="CENTER"><A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/History-Modern-Russia-Nicholas-Vladimir/dp/067401801X%3FSubscriptionId%3D1PBBW85R76PQTM62KDG2%26tag%3Danswers2000limit%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D067401801X" onmouseover="window.status='A History of Modern Russia: From Nicholas II to Vladimir Putin, Revised Edition';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;" TARGET="_top">A History of Modern Russia: From Nicholas II to Vladimir Putin, Revised Edition</A></H3></TD></TR></TABLE><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=2 CELLPADDING=5 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=0 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"><TR><TD WIDTH="50%" VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial,Verdana" SIZE="2">By Robert Service<BR><BR>Harvard University Press<BR>Paperback (659 pages)<BR><BR><CENTER><A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/History-Modern-Russia-Nicholas-Vladimir/dp/067401801X%3FSubscriptionId%3D1PBBW85R76PQTM62KDG2%26tag%3Danswers2000limit%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D067401801X" onmouseover="window.status='A History of Modern Russia: From Nicholas II to Vladimir Putin, Revised Edition';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;" TARGET="_top"><IMG SRC="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51M0XCQ4GPL._SL160_.jpg" WIDTH="110" HEIGHT="160" BORDER="0" ALT="A History of Modern Russia: From Nicholas II to Vladimir Putin, Revised Edition"></A></CENTER></FONT></TD><TD WIDTH="50%" VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="Arial,Verdana" SIZE="2">List Price: $25.00<SUP>*</SUP><BR>Lowest New Price: <B>$40.82</B><SUP>*</SUP><BR>Lowest Used Price: $8.47<SUP>*</SUP><BR><SUP>*</SUP><SMALL>(As of 15:47 Pacific 4 Feb 2012 <A HREF="javascript:alert('Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change.
