Reinterpreting Russian History

"Excellent selection of primary texts, provocative essays for discussion."--Shashana Keller, Hamilton College "An excellent collection of readings. A definite possibilitry for outside reading."--Bernard Kiernan, Concord College "In twenty-five years of teaching Russian history, this volume represents the finest and most useful combination of primary and secondary interpretive resources and documents I have encountered. This is by far the finest reader that I have encountered to accompany text."--Carl Wilson, Assumption College "An inviting combination of documents, interpretive articles, and illustrations. Offers fine opportunities for close analysis of texts for upper-division students."--Cathy Frierson, University of New Hampshire "A superb collection of documents and articles with an essential focus on society and the life of the people. A perfect complement to a text in upper division Russian history courses."--Seth Singleton, Pacific University "A very useful collection for general survey cuorses."--T.E. Smuels, University of Hawaii, Hilo "Some unusual (and I think well chosen) primary sources; the secondary sources are sometimes challenging for undergraduates but nicely reflect recent scholarship."--Paul Teverow, Missouri Southern State College "Excellent book, thorough in scope; pays equal attention to all periods covered (a rare phenomenon)."--Adeeb Khalid, Carleton College "Excellent coverage of all the key topics for the years 860-1860."--Alan Levy, Slippery Rock University "A thoughtfully chosen, well balanced collection."--W. Bruce Lincoln, Northern Illinois University "Includes a healthy balance of documents and secondary accounts which should enable a student of Russia to gain a more accurate understanding of Russia's past."--William L. Ketchersid, Bryan College "Much needed coverage of cultural and material life--especially folk culture and institutions. Beautifully produced--congratulations!"--Patrick Rollins, Old Dominion University "Excellent collection of documents and readings. Will make a Russian history course come alive!"--V. Lyle Haskins, Northeastern State University "The best book of readings ever. This field has been begging for an issue approach reader."--Richard Warner, Mary Washington College
