Documents from Modern Russia features uniquely contemporary
readings that help shape students' understanding of Russia's
history in the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. While political and
foreign history are still covered, the readings focus on large
social and economic shifts, as well as the ways culture shapes and
moderates Russians' experiences of their world. Throughout,
readings are complemented by thoughtful annotations that provide
context and support greater student understanding. Each chapter
represents a multifaceted moment in time when cultural, political,
economic, and military events were all taking place simultaneously
and impacted each other. Beginning in 1855 and progressing
chronologically, the chapters cover: the great reforms, imperial
expansion, and tsarism under attack; autocracy and the Russian
empire; the disintegration of the imperial regime; the Russian
revolution and the making of Soviet Russia; Stalin's rise to power;
Soviet foreign policy; the USSR in the Great Patriotic War, the
Cold War, and reconstruction; the Brezhnev doctrine; the Soviet
collapse; and post-Soviet Russia. Featuring timely and accessible
content, Documents from Modern Russia is an ideal resource for
courses with focus in Russian history, politics, culture,
economics, and foreign policy.
