Kievan Russia was originally published in a clothbound edition in
1948 as volume two in George Vernadsky's comprehensive series, A
History of Russia. It is now available for the first time in a
paperbound edition. At the time of its publication Kievan Russia
received the following reviews: "The account of this little-know
chapter of Russian history is based on a formidable mass of Slavic
Byzantine, Germanic, and Oriental (notably Arabic and Persian_
sources. Much of this material is new, and the thorough utilization
of all primary and secondary literature accumulated since
Kluchevsky wrote his great history easily makes this volume the
definitive study of the Kievan period in the English language.
There is hardly an aspect of the life of Russia at that time which
remains untouched, and the scope of the author's interests and
erudition is indeed impressive....When all is said, Vernadsky's
filling a definite gap in American historical literature."-The
Annals "This volume is an outstanding contribution to the
understanding of an important period of Russian history. It is
bound to have a marked influence on Western opinion about the years
in Russian history it treats in such masterly manner."-American
Historical Review "If Professor Vernadsky has not written the
definitive work on Kievan Russia, no such book could be written
without being indebted to Professor Vernadsky's encyclopedic
erudition."-American Historical Review George Vernadsky is
professor emeritus of Russian history at Yale University and the
author of numerous books on Russian history.
