Russia A Short History

"Extending from the beginnings of the first Slavic state to the election of new President Dmitry Medvedev, this is a concise and thoughtful guide to the turbulent history of Russia and its people. Paying particular attention to the implications of a future without Putin at its helm, Abraham Ascher provides a skillful blend of detail and analysis for all the key points in Russian history, including the reign of Ivan the Terrible, the Bolshevik Revolution, the Great Purge, and Russia's recent posturing in world energy markets."--Jacket.
