| Title | Istorija Rossii XIX stoletija. Tom I: XVII vek - 1815 god |
| Description | The History of Russia in the Nineteenth Century by Doctor of Historical Sciences and Professor Andrei Zubov is not a chronological retelling of events, but a reflection on the causes that brought “historical Russia” closer to possible collapse. Professor Zubov argues that the catastrophe of the early twentieth century had much deeper roots than is usually assumed. A careful study of those causes helps not only to understand the past more fully, but also to explain the present.
The first volume covers a decisive period in the country’s movement toward modern statehood. It examines attempts to abolish serfdom, the drafting of a constitution, and the establishment by Alexander I of a new order in Europe. These reforms were in many respects unsuccessful. Even so, they changed the way the Russian elite thought and laid the foundations for the culture of the Golden Age and for the Great Reforms of Alexander II’s era. |
