Encyclopedia of Russian History
The Encyclopedia of Russian History is designed to help dispel the mystery of Russia. It is the first encyclopedia in the English language to compre- hend the entirety of Russian history, from ancient Rus to the most recent events in post-Soviet Rus- sia. It is not aimed primarily at specialists in the area but at general readers, students, and scholars who are curious about Russia, have historical events, dates, and persons they wish to explore or papers to write on the widely varying topics and individuals contained herein. Contributors include top scholars in history, Russian studies, military history, economics, social science, literature, phi- losophy, music, and art history. The 1,500 entries have been composed by over 500 scholars from 16 countries. All were instructed to historize their entries, thereby placing them in the larger context of Russian history. Each entry is signed and features carefully chosen cross references to related en- tries as well as a bibliography of print and Inter- net sources as suggested additional readings. The four volumes contain over 300 black and white maps and photographs illustrating the text, and each volume contains color inserts portraying the beauty and scope of Russian peoples, art, and ar- chitecture, as well as important military and po- litical pictorials. Entries are arranged alphabetically, and the first volume includes a topical outline that organizes articles by broad categories, thereby of- fering teachers and students alike an informed map of Russian history. A comprehensive subject index offers yet another entry point for the set, encour- aging readers to explore the four volumes in greater depth.
