This book introduces readers to a little-known place and time in
world history - early modern Russia, from its beginnings as
Muscovy, in the fourteenth century, through the reign of Peter I
(1689-1725) - by portraying the lives of representative individuals
from the major levels of the society of that era. The portraits,
written by professional historians, are imaginative reconstructions
or composites of individual lives, rather than biographies. The
portraits are arranged into socio-political categories, and include
members of ruling families, government servitors, clerks, military
personnel, church prelates, monks, provincial landowners,
townspeople and artisans, Siberian explorers and traders, free
peasants, serfs, slaves and holy fools. Using these portraits, the
book brings old Russian society to life in an interesting way.
