This lucid account of Russian and Soviet history presents major
trends and events from Kievan Rus' to Vladimir Putin's presidency
in the twenty-first century. Directly addressing controversial
topics, this book looks at issues such as the impact of the Mongol
conquest, the paradoxes of Peter the Great, the "inevitability" of
the 1917 Revolution, the Stalinist terror, and the Gorbachev reform
effort. This new ninth edition has been updated to include a
discussion of Russian participation in the War in Donbas, eastern
Ukraine, Russia's role in the Syrian civil war, the rise of
opposition figure Alexei Navalny, Vladimir Putin's confirmation as
"president for life," recent Russian relations with the United
States, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and the
European Union as well as contemporary social and cultural trends.
Distinguished by its brevity and supplemented with substantially
updated suggested readings that feature new scholarship on Russia
and a thoroughly updated index, this essential text provides
balanced coverage of all periods of Russian history and
incorporates economic, social, and cultural developments as well as
politics and foreign policy. Suitable for undergraduates as well as
the general reader with an interest in Russia, this text is a
concise, single volume on one of the world's most significant
lands.

Combining methodological and theoretical approaches to migration
and mobility studies with detailed analyses of historical,
cultural, or social phenomena, the works collected here provide an
interdisciplinary perspective on how migrations and mobility
altered identities and affected images of the "other." From
walkways to railroads to airports, the history of travel provides a
context for considering the people and events that have shaped
Central and Eastern Europe and Russia.

This study analyzed the affect of the acquisition career field's
initial education course on the individual level variables of
commitment, motivation, self-efficacy, and knowledge, and developed
a measure for future use of organizational factors that may impact
that effectiveness. Course effectiveness was assessed using a
recurrent institutional cycle design, using two classes of students
in the Air Force Fundamentals of Acquisition Management course. A
total of 89 students responded to the surveys. Even with a small
amount of data, the results showed that fulfilling the course
expectations of the students increased the affective commitment to
their career field. More data is required before recommendations
for change in course design can be made.
