The Emperors and Empresses of Russia : Reconsidering the Romanovs, Paperback / softback Book

The Emperors and Empresses of Russia : Reconsidering the Romanovs Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Since glasnost began, Russia's most eminent historians have taken advantage of new archival access and the end of censorship and conformity to reassess and reinterpret their history.

Through this process they are linking up with Russia's great historiographic tradition while producing work that is fresh and modern.

In "The Emperors and Empresses of Russia", renowned Russian historians tell the story of the Romanovs as complex individual personalities and as key institutional actors in Russian history, from the empire builder Peter I to the last tsar, Nicholas II.

These portraits are contributions to the writing of history, partaking neither of wooden ideologisation nor of naive romanticisation.
