Publisher's Summary:
New and updated version released in June 2017
The Eurasian continent is dominated by Russia - the country whose history and destiny have unfolded there throughout the centuries. From the Kievan Rus to Vladimir Putin, this book presents the highlights of this countrys history - the elements that shaped its future and influenced its development.
Empires arent built in a day. Russia makes no exception to this rule. Over the centuries, this country has been both a victim and an attacker, attaining, at times, the peak of military genius and civilization.
This book includes an outline of each significant phase in Russias history. The purpose is to highlight the features that characterize Russia, its victories, and failures.
In this respect, one will come to realize how the Russian Federation earned such a prominent place in the world.
Get acquainted with the personalities that made Russia what it is today, namely: Vladimir the Great, Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great, Catherine the Great, Joseph Stalin, Vladimir Putin, and many others. This book takes you through the major events that shaped Russia: the reigns of Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great, Imperial Russia, the Bolshevik Revolution, Stalins domination, the two World Wars, the Cold War and the end of the USSR. Since the reign of the first Russian ruler - Prince Oleg - this country was led by two types of leaders: visionary and barely competent.
Everything about Russias history is attractive. It experienced a range of paradigm shifts that brought the country on the edge of collapse for repeated times.
Rediscover this empires individuality and start your journey through Russias history today!

So many important facts are in each chapter
When I picked up this book, I was happy to find out how much important and interesting information was packed into the book. I had heard some of the terms and they didn't make a lot of sense to me. I grew up during the cold war and yet, I never realized it was being played on a world scale with various wars and police actions. To read about the Tsars and their families was so interesting. Then providing a question section a the end of the chapter was just brilliant. With so much information I needed to process and digest the information. The questions helped me there.
When the World War II invasion by Hilter's men could have turned the war, Russia became a fighting machine and it was really well written. I was able to follow along with the process of the leader's plans.
Succinct and useful short history
Review of RUSSIA: HISTORY OF RUSSIA by Ian Maslow
A short and succinct guide to the history of the Russian nation, from approximately 800 A.D. to the present, this short book presents the leaders and the events, highlighting personalities, reforms, war, education, and so forth, throughout the history of this massive nation. If you're looking for a quick and interesting guide, you may find this history quite helpful, inspiring further research.
A big disappointment
I expected this to be the âCliff Notesâ of Russian history. It indeed tries to do that but suffers from poor editing and a lack of scholarly language. It covers all the main events so its average in meeting my expectations. But the poor editing, word choices and grammatical errors makes it confusing and unsatisfactory.
