Synopsis

Leading writer Boris Kagarlitsky offers an ambitious account of 1000 years of Russian history. Encompassing all key periods in Russia's dramatic development, the book covers everything from early settlers, through medieval decline, Ivan the Terrible - the 'English Tsar', Peter the Great, the Crimean War and the rise of capitalism, the revolution, the Soviet period, finally ending with the return of capitalism after 1991. Setting Russia within the context of the 'World System', as outlined by Wallerstein, this is a major work of historical Marxist theory that is set to become a future classic. Praise for Kagarlitsky's previous book, Russia Under Yeltsin and Putin: 'It is a sorry tale, told with passion and competence.' Independent 'This passionate, pitiless analysis of post-Soviet Russia should be read by all interested in that country's present and future, especially the optimistic.' Library Journal
