This text offers a concise Russian history up to the start of the twentieth century, written from the unique perspective of a Russian who is writing about his own country. As translator Herbert Moore notes, “this history is written by a Russian professor of history, and therefore may be expected to show the events and movements which in the opinion of Russians themselves have been most important … in bringing Russia to be what she is today.” The text is divided into five major parts, beginning with the origin of the Russian dominion and covering through the death of Emperor Alexander II: “The Kieff Period,” “The Moscovite and the Lithuanian Russias,” “The Tsardom of Moscow,” “The Russian Empire,” It also includes several maps and illustrations.
