Description

This volume provides a chronological overview of one of the most important issues in the historical development of large parts of Europe and Asia - the formation and disintegration of the Russian empire. Ranging from 9th century Eastern Slav expansion and settlement, to the rise and fall of the Russian Empire, to the Communist era and post-Soviet present, the book explores the wide range of cultures under Russian domination and how their development led to centuries of political, social and territorial conflicts.
