Summary: Good Introduction to the history of multiethnic Russia
Review: If you want to know more about how the country of Russia evolved through the years and how the country went from a tsarist system to socialisim/communism I can highly recommend this book. It is written in a straightforward manner which enlightens the reader and at the same time entices one to want to be more knowledgeable about historical incidents not only about Russia but other countries and cultures.Regards, D'Vante

Summary: A good history of Russia
Review: The book covers so much ground that it can't go into any depth, but that doesn't stop the authors from giving a complete view of the highlights of Russia history. It starts before the Mongol horde invaded, and continues through Yeltsen, and ends with Putin's taking office. (And with a 2001 publication date, that's about all you could expect!) For those interested in more information, the books lists it's sources (broken down by chapter), as well as a recommended reading list. It also includes a list of rulers, and a timeline that starts at 830 BCE!

Summary: Revision did not catch the demise of the USSR
Review: This book has on the cover: Fourth edition, fully revised and updated. On the title page verso: First American edition published 2001 by Interlink Books. On p. vii "The USSR is the largest country on the globe ..." (repeated on p. 2) P. 1 has: "... what we now know as the USSR." An earlier edition will probably suit you as well as this one.
