history from the emancipation of the serfs to the end of World War
II.

to Russian history and bridging the ‘revolutionary
divide’ of 1917
* Covers political, economic, cultural, and everyday life issues
during a period of major changes in Russian history
* Addresses throughout the diversity of national groups,
cultures, and religions in the Russian Empire and USSR
* Shows how the radical policies adopted after 1917 both changed
Russia and perpetuated an economic and political rigidity that
