Now extensively revised in this ninth edition, A History of Russia covers the entire span of the country's history, from ancient times to the post-communist present. Keeping with the hallmark of the text, Riasanovsky and Steinberg examine all aspects of Russia's history--political, international, military, economic, social, and cultural--with a commitment to objectivity, fairness, and balance, and to reflecting recent research and new trends in scholarly interpretation. In the ninth edition, this includes expanded attention to the experiences of ordinary men and women and to imperial expansion and diversity. Extensively revised and with a more streamlined organization, A History of Russia, Ninth Edition, includes recent developments in Ukraine and Russia's near abroad in the Putin era.

Riasanovsky's "History of Russia" has defined the market and set a standard for accurate, balanced interpretation, and attention to political, social, and cultural history and international relations. Featuring a new co-author, Mark Steinberg, this seventh edition includes more information on the politics and economics of post-Socialism and on post-Soviet society and culture. For the first time, the text is being offered in paperback and as a combined two-volume set covering early Russia through the nineteenth-century in volume one, and from 1855 to the present in volume two.
