Russia under the Old Regime
History旧制度下的俄国
(us) Richard Pipes
Russia is a region where the development of state power is different from other European countries. Harsh geographical conditions and huge land area make it extremely difficult to establish an effective political power. What emerged in this context was a hereditary regime that regarded the country as the private property of the tsar. This book examines the evolution of the Russian state from the 9th century to the 1880s and discusses its unique role in managing Russian society. "Russia Under the Old Regime" clearly sorts out Russia's past and conducts profound and original analysis. It is an important work that is difficult to bypass in understanding Russia.
