Edward Lucas - The New Cold War, Putin's Russia an d the Threat to the West (2008).jpg

In late 1999 when Vladimir Putin was named Prime Minister, Russia was a budding democracy. Multiple parties campaigned for seats in the Duma, the nation-s parliament. The media criticized the government freely. Eight years later as Putin completes his second term as president of Russia and announces his bid for prime minister, the country is under a repressive regime. Human rights abuses are widespread. The Kremlin is openly hostile to the West. Yet the United States and Europe have been slow to confront the new reality, in effect, helping Russia win what experts are now calling the New Cold War.

Thomas McCRay - Russia and the former Soviet Repub lics (2006).jpg

Grade 9 Up–Although the relationships between the Russian Federation and other independent states that were once part of the Soviet Union are aptly examined when appropriate, this book is basically a country study of Russia with the exception of a chapter entitled New Countries on the World Scene. McCray is best when explaining the implications of specific characteristics of both physical and human geography. He also offers some good commentary on the consequences of the economic and political changes in Russia in the last decade. There are two chapters on history, past and recent, and the book closes with a short chapter called Looking Ahead. The photographs are relevant, but small and not particularly appealing. The few that show women are certainly not flattering, and none include teens or young adults. There is a general map of the region and three topical maps. The writing is generally lucid with just a few ambiguous sentences and typographical errors. Occasionally there is an odd sentence, such as the one about the wealthy Russians whose children visit Brighton Beach in Brooklyn, New York, just to see how Russian people used to live. Despite the quibbles, this book would be a serviceable addition to most libraries.–Elizabeth Talbot, University of Illinois, Champaign

Jane Burbank, Mark von Hagen, Anatolyi Remnev - Ru ssian Empire, Space, People, Power, 1700–1930 (200 7).jpg

Presents a new conception of the Russian empire
"Eighteen articles, mainly by US, Russian, and British scholars, cover various aspects of the Russian Empire from its foundation under Peter the Great to the rule of Stalin. The Russian participants, mostly historians and political scientists, come from the two Russian capitals and various other cities. The major focus is the geographies of rule in Russia. . . . The materials are derived in large part from Russian archives, especially those in Moscow. Several good maps aid readers' comprehension. . . . Recommended." —Choice

"Russian Empire offers much valuable information on a wide range of significant issues . . . genuinely thoughtful and thought—provoking." —Dominic Lieven

"Russian Empire offers much valuable information on a wide range of significant issues . . . genuinely thoughtful and though" —provoking." —Dominic Lieven
Russian Empire offers new perspectives on the strategies of imperial rule pursued by rulers, officials, scholars, and subjects of the Russian empire. An international team of scholars explores the connections between Russia’s expansion over vast territories occupied by people of many ethnicities, religions, and political experiences and the evolution of imperial administration and vision. The fresh research reflected in this innovative volume reveals the ways in which the realities of sustaining imperial power in a multiethnic, multiconfessional, scattered, and diffuse environment inspired political imaginaries and set limits on what the state could accomplish. Taken together, these rich essays provide important new frameworks for understanding Russia’s imperial geography of power.

Jane Burbank is Professor of History and of Russian and Slavic Studies at New York University.

Mark von Hagen is Boris Bakhmeteff Professor of Russian and East European Studies and Chair of the Department of History at Columbia University.

Anatolyi Remnev is Professor at Omsk State University.

Tim McDaniel - The Agony of the Russian Idea (1996 ).jpg

I'm a scholar in Russian Studies and recently read the first chapter of this book. I couldn't believe my eyes! Here, finally, I was seeing in print the understanding of Russian culture that I had come to after over 25 years of studying this place (I'm in Russia now). People in the past have tried to make generalizations about Russia and print them, but they always miss the mark, often by a mile. Tim McDaniel hits a bull's eye!

Of course I'm going to buy the book (from Amazon!) the minute I get back to the states, so I can finish it. I know I'm going to assign it to my students who are going to Russia on study-abroad, and that's just the beginning of what I know will be my long, long relationship with this book.

I recommend this book highly to all Russia specialists, to anyone planning on studying, working, or traveling in Russia, and to all people who want to understand this mysterious country. - Katherine Lahti (Petersburg, Russia)

This book is required reading for anyone who wants to understand Russia. It highlights elements of Russian political culture that have been present for decades--before, during, and after the Soviet period--and that are still relevant today. Although political culture as an explanatory framework has flaws in general, its power in explaining the Russian political context cannot be disputed. -- Mark Clarence Walker

Maureen Perrie - The Cambridge History of Russia, Volume 1 (2006).jpg

This first volume of the Cambridge History of Russia covers the period from early ('Kievan') Rus' to the start of Peter the Great's reign in 1689. It surveys the development of Russia through the Mongol invasions to the expansion of the Muscovite state in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and deals with political, social, economic and cultural issues under the Riurikid and early Romanov rulers. The volume is organised on a primarily chronological basis, but a number of general themes are also addressed, including the bases of political legitimacy; law and society; the interactions of Russians and non-Russians; and the relationship of the state with the Orthodox Church. The international team of authors incorporates the latest Russian and Western scholarship and offers an authoritative new account of the formative 'pre-Petrine' period of Russian history, before the process of Europeanisation had made a significant impact on society and culture.

Dominic Lieven - The Cambridge History of Russia, Volume 2 (2006).jpg

The second volume of The Cambridge History of Russia covers the imperial period (1689-1917). It encompasses political, economic, social, cultural, diplomatic, and military history. All the major Russian social groups have separate chapters and the volume also includes surveys on the non-Russian peoples and the government's policies towards them. It addresses themes such as women, law, the Orthodox Church, the police and the revolutionary movement. The volume's seven chapters on diplomatic and military history, and on Russia's evolution as a great power, make it the most detailed study of these issues available in English. The contributors come from the USA, UK, Russia and Germany: most are internationally recognised as leading scholars in their fields, and some emerging younger academics engaged in cutting-edge research have also been included. No other single volume in any language offers so comprehensive, expert and up-to-date an analysis of Russian history in this period.

Ronald Grigor Suny - The Cambridge History of Russ ia, Volume 3 (2006).jpg

The third volume of The Cambridge History of Russia provides an authoritative political, intellectual, social and cultural history of the trials and triumphs of Russia and the Soviet Union during the twentieth century. It encompasses not only the ethnically Russian part of the country but also the non-Russian peoples of the tsarist and Soviet multinational states and of the post-Soviet republics. Beginning with the revolutions of the early twentieth century, chapters move through the 1920s to the Stalinist 1930s, World War II, the post-Stalin years and the decline and collapse of the USSR. The contributors attempt to go beyond the divisions that marred the historiography of the USSR during the Cold War to look for new syntheses and understandings. The volume is also the first major undertaking by historians and political scientists to use the new primary and archival sources that have become available since the break-up of the USSR.

Osprey - Men-at-Arms 297 - Angus Konstam - Russian Army Of The Seven Years War (1) (1996).jpg

During the long and costly conflict known as the Great Northern War [1700-1721], Peter the Great and his newly formed Russian army, which was modelled on western European lines, defeated their Swedish counterparts, who were generally regarded as being the finest troops in Europe. Angus Konstam examines the development, equipment and organisation of the Russian army following the death of Peter the Great, and describes its emergence from three decades of experimentation and political involvement as a major military power during the Seven Years War. This first of two volumes covers the Russian infantry, with its companion, Men-at-Arms 298, focusing on the cavalry.

Osprey - Men-at-Arms 298 - Angus Konstam - Russian Army Of The Seven Years War (2) (1996).jpg

This second volume (see MAA 297) by Angus Konstam on the Russian Army of the Seven Years War concentrates on the cavalry, both the regular troops and irregular forces, considering their composition, nature and effectiveness. It also outlines the state of the Russian train of artillery, which was seen as the premier branch of the army and dominated Russian military doctrine throughout the 18th century. As a result of reforms to the, the Russians entered the war with Prussia somewhat wrong footed. The ability of the army to recover from this in the crucible of war is a major part of this story.

Osprey - Men-at-Arms 364 - Nick Cornish - The Russ ian Army 1914-18 (2001).jpg

Often overshadowed by the drama of its catastrophic collapse in the November 1917 Revolution, the Imperial Russian Army's record in 1914-16 included some notable victories. Its human qualities of patriotism and endurance were remarkable, and in 1916 the 'Brusilov Offensive' on the South-Western Front outdistanced anything that was being achieved in France. The variety and romance of its uniforms - infantry and cavalry, Guards and Line, Cossacks, armour and Air Service crewmen, even a priest - are splendidly captured here by Russia's leading military artist; and Nik Cornish's expert text is supported by tables of insignia and many rare photographs.

Contents
Introduction: the Russian Army and society · The 'Great Programme': military and industrial reforms in 1914 · The strategic situation · Organisation of the armed forces · Chronology of campaigns · Uniforms: Parade & service dress, Guards, line, Cossacks, specialist troops and services · Non-Russian formations · Russian elite units · Weapons · Tactics · Colour plates commentary

Russia - Catriona Kelly - Refining Russia, Advice Literature, Pol...lite Culture, and Gender from Catherine to Yeltsin 2001.jpg

Refining Russia is a pioneering study of the development of advice literature ("how-to" books such as etiquette manuals and brochures on hygiene) in Russia, and of its reception and wider cultural meaning. An absorbing and original exercise in "history of the book," it is also a major contribution to the understanding of Russia's relationship with the West, and of the cultural world inhabited by the Russian intelligentsia.

Daniel P. Todes - Darwin without Malthus, The Stru ggle for Existence in Russian Evolutionary Thought (1989).jpg

Nineteenth century Russian intellectuals perceived a Malthusian bias in Darwin's theory of evolution by means of natural selection. They identified that bias with Darwin's concept of the "struggle for existence" and his emphasis upon the evolutionary role of overpopulation and intraspecific conflict. In this book, Todes documents a historical Russian critique of Darwin's "Malthusian error", explores its relationship to such scientific work as Mechnikov's phagocytic theory, Korzhinskii's mutation theory and Kropotkin's theory of mutual aid, and finds its origins in Russia's political economy and in the very nature of its land and climate. This is the first book in English to examine in detail the scientific work of nineteenth century Russian evolutionists, and the first in any language to explore the relationship of Russian theories to the economic, political, and natural circumstances in which they were generated. It combines a broad scope (dealing with political figures and cultural movements) with a close analysis of scientific work on a range of topics.

Padma Desai - Conversations on Russia, Reform from Yeltsin to Putin (2006).jpg

Much of the discussion of Russia's recent post-Communist history has amounted, both in Russia and the West, to a series of monologues by strong-minded people with starkly divergent views. In contrast, Padma Desai's conversations with influential, intelligent participants and observers provide the reader with a broad, nuanced view of what has and has not happened in the last fourteen years, and why. Conversations from Russia will thus serve as a much-needed reference volume, both for academics who study Russia and for laypeople who only have vague perceptions of what has occurred in Russia since the collapse of Communism.
In conversations with important figures like Boris Yeltsin, George Soros, Anatoly Chubais, and Yegar Gaidar, Desai considers questions like why the Soviet Union fell apart under Gorbachev, what went wrong with economic reforms after Gorbachev, whether the privatization of Russian assets could have been managed differently, and what the prospects are for the Russian economy in the near future. Desai, a recognized expert in the field of Soviet studies, ties the interviews together with an introduction, ultimately reaching her own judgment on each issue considered in the conversations. This book will appeal to researchers and students in developmental economics, political economy, and Soviet studies, and educated laypeople interested in Russia

Osprey - Essential Histories 31 - Geoffrey Spokes - The Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905 (2002).jpg

The Russo-Japanese war saw the first defeat of a major European imperialist power by an Asian country. When Japanese and Russian expansionist interests collided over Manchuria and Korea, the Tsar assumed Japan would never dare to fight. However, after years of planning, Japan launched a surprise attack on the Russian Port Arthur, on the Liaoyang Peninsula in 1904 and the war that followed saw Japan win major battles against Russia. This book explains the background and outbreak of the war, then follows the course of the fighting at Yalu River, Sha-ho, and finally Mukden, the largest battle anywhere in the world before the First World War.
