Russia Enters the Twentieth Century 1894-1917

Russia Enters the Twentieth Century 1894-1917 Synopsis

First published in 1971 (in its English translation), Russia Enters the Twentieth Century provides a broad and detailed survey of Russia during the two decades leading up to the revolution. An international team of scholars examines each significant aspect of Russian life to create a comprehensive portrait of Russia under Nicholas II (1894-1917), free from the myths imposed by historians who, on both sides, have tended to interpret it through the lens of the revolution that followed, rather than studying it objectively as a distinct period. This work serves as an important historical reference for students and researchers of Russian history.
