Description
“Historical Portraits” are vivid and brilliant character sketches of Russian princes, monarchs, chroniclers, commanders, and diplomats. The book is based on the famous lecture “A Course of Russian History”—the author’s main creation, which he worked on for over 30 years and which brought him worldwide fame.
“Historical Portraits” is a well-known work by the outstanding Russian historian V. O. Klyuchevsky. The book includes selected writings about Sergius of Radonezh, Ivan the Terrible, Peter I, Catherine II, and others. Briefly, but powerfully, it describes the lives and reigns of famous figures from the past and their significance in Russian history.
