History is full of surprises, but rarely has there been a
turnaround as unexpected, and momentous as what occurred to a
formative Russia during the medieval period. Attacked and invaded
from all sides, it hardly looked as if the small Slavic
principalities would survive. But they did and were eventually
absorbed into Kiev Rus' and then Muscovy, which gradually expanded
and laid the foundation for a huge empire. The author uncovers this
extraordinary period, from the founding of the Kievan state to the
accession of Peter the Great in 1682, describing both the times of
danger and defeat and those of expansion and revitalization.
