Encyclopedia of Russian History (Vol.1-4)

The Encyclopedia of Russian History is designed to help dispel the mystery of Russia. It is the first encyclopedia in the English language to comprehend the entirety of Russian history, from ancient Rus to the most recent events in post-Soviet Russia. 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, philosophy, music, and art history. [This edition is available now on ENGLISHTIPS server. It was initially posted among many other books in my review article "Practice Makes Perfect (015)" of 2006 June 16; vol 4 was added owing to  Dillz )
