Accessible to students, tourists and general readers alike, this
book provides a broad overview of Russian history since the ninth
century. Paul Bushkovitch emphasizes the enormous changes in the
understanding of Russian history resulting from the end of the
Soviet Union in 1991. Since then, new material has come to light on
the history of the Soviet era, providing new conceptions of
Russia's pre-revolutionary past. The book traces not only the
political history of Russia, but also developments in its
literature, art and science. Bushkovitch describes well-known
cultural figures, such as Chekhov, Tolstoy and Mendeleev, in their
institutional and historical contexts. Though the 1917 revolution,
the resulting Soviet system and the Cold War were a crucial part of
Russian and world history, Bushkovitch presents earlier
developments as more than just a prelude to Bolshevik power.
