This lucid account of Russian and Soviet history presents major
trends and events from Kievan Rus' to Vladimir Putin's presidency
in the twenty-first century. Directly addressing controversial
topics, this book looks at issues such as the impact of the Mongol
conquest, the paradoxes of Peter the Great, the "inevitability" of
the 1917 Revolution, the Stalinist terror, and the Gorbachev reform
effort. This new ninth edition has been updated to include a
discussion of Russian participation in the War in Donbas, eastern
Ukraine, Russia's role in the Syrian civil war, the rise of
opposition figure Alexei Navalny, Vladimir Putin's confirmation as
"president for life," recent Russian relations with the United
States, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and the
European Union as well as contemporary social and cultural trends.
Distinguished by its brevity and supplemented with substantially
updated suggested readings that feature new scholarship on Russia
and a thoroughly updated index, this essential text provides
balanced coverage of all periods of Russian history and
incorporates economic, social, and cultural developments as well as
politics and foreign policy. Suitable for undergraduates as well as
the general reader with an interest in Russia, this text is a
concise, single volume on one of the world's most significant
lands.
