Начало книги

Paul Bushkovitch is a professor of history at Yale University, where he has taught for the past 36 years. He is the author of Peter the Great: The Struggle for Power, 1671–1725 (Cambridge 2001); Religion and Society in Russia: The Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries (1991); and The Merchants of Moscow, 1580–1650 (Cambridge 1980). His articles have appeared in Slavic Review, Russian Review, Jahrbücher für Geschichte Osteruopas, and Kritika. He is a member of the editorial board for the Cahiers du Monde Russe.

“For any student trying to get a grasp of the essentials of Russian history this book is the place to start. To cover everything from the origins of the Russian people to the collapse of the Soviet Union in one short book requires great skill, but Paul Bushkovitch is one of the leading experts on Russian history in the world and he manages this task with great insight and panache.”
