This is an English translation of important writings on the Thirty
Years' War by the great Soviet historian B. F. Porshnev. Little is
known of the Muscovite contribution to the conflict and Paul Dukes
- arguably Britain's senior historian of ancien regime Russia - has
selected the most valuable areas of Porshnev's unparalleled
archival research to fill a crucial gap in the literature of the
seventeenth century. In placing this work in the context of
Porshnev's larger undertaking, Professor Dukes' substantial
introduction assesses Porshnev's critics and evaluates his
contribution to our understanding of the Thirty Years' War and of
relations between Eastern and Western Europe at the time. A
significant reinterpretation of a fascinating period, the book will
interest both Russian specialists and those working more generally
in seventeenth- century European history.
