Russian history has entranced scholars and historians for centuries. The reason may reside in the vivid nature of the events themselves which seem to be so volatile and exotic at the same time. Or perhaps it is because of Russia's power as either an empire or lately as a major energy supplier and therefore superpower. This book is a completely retyped and indexed version of a superb book under the same title published in 1886.
