Description

“A Short Course on Russian History” by the outstanding scholar Vasily Osipovich Klyuchevsky (1841–1911) was one of the most popular historical works in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Just consider this: over twenty years—from 1897 to 1917—there were eight editions. This historian’s works are distinguished by depth of thought and a balanced approach to historical analysis. And today, when interest in Russian history has grown immeasurably, there is no better way to get acquainted with V.O. Klyuchevsky’s views on the major events and problems of national history than his “Short Course on Russian History,” where these views are set out in a concise and accessible form.
