Description
Robert Service's The Penguin History of Modern Russia: From Tsarism to the Twenty-first Century provides a comprehensive overview of Russia's modern era, spanning revolution, civil war, mass terror, and two world wars. The country continues to undergo significant change, and Service explores the complex interaction between rulers and ruled from Tsar Nicholas II to the present day.
This revised and updated edition includes a new introduction and final chapter, discussing Russia's ongoing economic and social difficulties, its determination to regain a leading role on the world stage, and the lasting impact of seven decades of communist rule.
With his trademark balance and clarity, Service offers a nuanced analysis of Russia's recent past, shedding light on the country's ongoing journey towards a new future.
