Robert Service's The Penguin History of Modern Russia: From Tsarism
to the Twenty-first Century provides a superb panorama of Russia in
the modern age. Russia's recent past has encompassed revolution,
civil war, mass terror and two world wars, and the country is still
undergoing huge change. In his acclaimed history, now revised and
updated with a new introduction and final chapter, Robert Service
explores the complex, changing interaction between rulers and ruled
from Tsar Nicholas II, through the Russian Revolutions of 1905 and
1917; from Lenin and Stalin through to Gorbachev, Yeltsin, Putin
and beyond. This new edition also discusses Russia's unresolved
economic and social difficulties and its determination to regain
its leading role on the world stage and explains how, despite the
recent years of de-communization, the seven decades of communist
rule which penetrated every aspect of life still continue to
influence Russia today. 'Always well-informed and balanced in his
judgements, clear and concise in his analysis ... Service is
extremely good on Soviet politics' Orlando Figes, Sunday Telegraph
'A fine book ... it is a dizzying tale and Service tells it well;
he has none of the ideological baggage that has so often bedevilled
Western histories of Russia' Brian Moynahan, Sunday Times Robert
Service is a Fellow of the British Academy and of St Antony's
College, Oxford. He has written several books, including the highly
acclaimed Lenin: A Biography, Russia: Experiment with a People,
Stalin: A Biography and Comrades: A History of World Communism, as
well as many other books on Russia's past and present. His most
recent book, Trotsky, has been shortlisted for the Duff Cooper
Prize.
