Description

First Published in 1943 Russia Through the Centuries provides a comprehensive historical background of the U.S.S.R.

The book tries to showcase how Russia grew through the centuries, and how the new Russia was a consummation of all that went before.

It discusses themes such as the first Russian states and their early struggles; foundations of the Eastern Slav Empire; the reign of Catherine II; Alexander II and the era of reforms; Soviets taking control, and the U.S.S.R. and the Second World War. The author argues that a knowledge of Russian history should be more widespread in England and the former Anglo-Russian understandings were between Courts and the upper circles of society and consequently were not lasting.

This book is an essential read for anyone interested in Russian history.
