    State of the Art Overview of Russian History ?
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2007*

From what I've been able to determine, this seems to be the state of the art in single volume Russian Histories as Russia comes out of "The Soviet Era" where meaningful histories were at best very hard to come by.As a long time student of history, I'm just now turning my sites to Russia, so I don't claim to be an expert.  But when I started dating a delightful woman from Russian, my interest in learning as much as I could about her homeland was a natural.  As I started to research the topic, I was a bit surprised to find how difficult it was to find thorough histories of Russia ... until I began to understand that "Soviet times" made serious treatment of history exceptionally challenging ... and Soviet times have only been a thing of the past for a relatively short period of time.So, given that there simply isn't as yet a wide variety of material available on this subject, it wasn't to hard to sort out which were among the best, and "A History of Russia" seems to be one of the top contenders.  I use it in conjunction with the Penguin Historical Atlas of Russia (with tons of very helpful maps) and find I'm getting a great and detailed overview of Russia's past.  I'll have a better feeling for how balanced and accurate this work is after I've had a chance to read more books on the topic, but it seems that this book is at very least a great place to start one's research of Russia's past.I will point out here, as I did with the Penguin Atlas, if you're looking for information on the ANCIENT history of Russia ... or, perhaps more accurately ... Russia's pre-history ... you won't find too much here.  I don't think that's a failing of this book ... there just doesn't seem to be that much written history of what came before Kievan Russia or much archaeology of this area.  Unlike nations such as Britain or Egypt where much was written and much has been excavated, Russia, more like the United States, has a very detailed history of it's recent past ... and very little detailed information about it's more distant past.With that said, I think "A History of Russia" is a great place to begin one's studies of Russia.  Reviews by others with more expertise seem to suggest it's more than just a beginner's introduction ... but you should rely on their reviews for that point of view.

    Easily the best single-volume, comprehensive Russian history
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2021*

This excellent book, now in a ninth edition, is a comprehensive treatment of Russian history that never manages to get dull.  It’s not a novel, so it’s not exactly exciting reading, but it’s an engaging textbook treatment.  Culture and society get special attention and that is a good thing, considering how urgent those topics are to Russian history.  For students, historians, or enthusiast of the topic, this book should be your go-to general reference.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A long history.
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2015*

On the one hand, I didn't dislike this book. It was very detailed and could drift into the boring realm at times, but it was also 816 pages long so what would a person expect? It gave a thorough look at Russian History and I would recommend it to anyone who really wants to know more. Sadly, I am not that thrilled with my retention of the material, probably because the class I used it in was 8 weeks long and very boring. A better class would have made this book seem better, I think.
