Title: The Cambridge History of Russia Volume 2, Imperial Russia, 1689-1917 Author: Lieven, Dominic Publisher: Cambridge University Press; Publication Date: 2006 Hardcover; ISBN: 9780521815291 Volumes: 1; Pages: 794 List Price in Cloth: $221.00 Our price: $221.00 (Add to Cart button is at the bottom of this page) The second volume of The Cambridge History of Russia covers the imperial period (1689-1917). It encompasses political, economic, social, cultural, diplomatic, and military history. All the major Russian social groups have separate chapters and the volume also includes surveys on the non-Russian peoples and the government's policies towards them. It addresses themes such as women, law, the Orthodox Church, the police and the revolutionary movement. The volume's seven chapters on diplomatic and military history, and on Russia's evolution as a great power, make it the most detailed study of these issues available in English. The contributors come from the USA, UK, Russia and Germany: most are internationally recognised as leading scholars in their fields, and some emerging younger academics engaged in cutting-edge research have also been included. No other single volume in any language offers so comprehensive, expert and up-to-date an analysis of Russian history in this period.ContentsIntroduction Dominic LievenPart I. Empire1.
