Solovyov is “the first among equals” in the constellation of brilliant Russian historians, which includes N. Karamzin, V. Klyuchevsky, N. Kostomarov, A. Presnyakov, T. Granovsky, S. Platonov, and many others.
The thirteenth volume of the large-scale 29-volume edition is devoted to the events of 1676–1682—from the reign of Tsar Fyodor Alekseyevich to the Moscow turmoil of 1682.
