Download or read book History of Russia written by Mikhail Nikolaevich Pokrovsky and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Russia: From the Earliest Times to the Rise of Commercial Capitalism Certain Russian terms have been retained in the text; in forming plurals these terms have been treated as English words. Each has been italicised the first time it occurs, and, where its meaning is not clear from the context, an explanation has been inserted in square brackets. For the convenience of the reader such terms have been brought together in a Glossary. Russian weights and measures have been retained, and their English equivalents have been included in the Glossary. Brief notes on persons, institutions, events, etc., mentioned in the text have been added if for the English reader more information seemed de sirable; these notes are not intended to take the place of the Index for general reference. Dates are, of course, Old style. The system of trans literation employed is that of the Library of Congress with slight de partures: ya has been used for id, yu for iii (ye only initial or after vowels) -y for final -ii. The editors do not, of course, disclaim responsibility for any failure on their part to convert ideas expressed in Russian into the exactly corresponding ideas expressed in English; it may, however, give the reader more confidence to know that the complete English translation has been carefully read by the author, and that modifications have been made to meet his criticisms. The editors desire to express their appreciation of the aid of all those who have generously given assistance or encouragement in the various stages of the preparation of this translation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Russian History, Being an Authoritative and Detailed History of Russia From the Age of Catherine the Great to the Present, Vol. 2 In my preface to the first part of my History of Russia in the Nineteenth Century I announced that the third part would contain the internal history of Russia for the last thirty years. But the abundance of material which I have come upon in the course of my taking up that period has forced me to change my mind. The decisive turn in the national outlook that has taken place after the famine of 1891-92, and also a series of new factors and circumstances in the economic and social life of the country which had been crystallised at that time and had in their turn conditioned new tendencies and aspirations in our national policy and in the governmental activity the con struction of the Siberian railroad and the far-eastern policy) these facts form a sufficient basis for the treatment of the last eight years of the nineteenth century together with the first years of the twentieth century as a separate period serving as a direct prelude to the great events that were displayed before our very eyes in 1904-1906. Whether this period will form the contents of a fourth part of my work, I cannot state definitely at present. But, at any rate, the construction of such a fourth part appears to me as a logical possibility. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Russia, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Earliest Times to 1877 Tms Translation of M. Alfred Rambaud's Historic de la Rus sie (paris, 1878) contains a number of emendations by the Au thor. M. Rambaud has also written many additional pages: on Russian ethnography; on the Esthonian Epic; on the early rela tions of England and Russia; and on the Emperor Paul's project of attacking England in India. The Translator has to express a grateful sense of M. Rambaud's constant and courteous aid. In whatever is hasty or inaccurate in these volumes, he has no share. The Translator has compiled Genealogical Tables, of which M. Rambaud has approved. The French book has no index, and an attempt has been made to supply this deficiency. The Translator regrets that, by a too close following of the French spelling of the ancient tribal names, new varieties have been introduced, where variety was already too plentiful and confusing. There seem, for example, to be about thirteen ways of spelling Patzinak. A list of some of these names as here printed, and of the forms used by Dr. Latham (russian and Turk, London, is subjoined.

Download or read book Memory Crash written by Georgiy Kasianov and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This account of historical politics in Ukraine, framed in a broader European context, shows how social, political, and cultural groups have used and misused the past from the final years of the Soviet Union to 2020. Georgiy Kasianov details practices relating to history and memory by a variety of actors, including state institutions, non-governmental organizations, political parties, historians, and local governments. He identifies the main political purposes of these practices in the construction of nation and identity, struggles for power, warfare, and international relations. Kasianov considers the Ukrainian case in the context of a global increase in the politics of history and memory, with particular emphasis on a distinctive East-European variety. He pays special attention to the use and abuse of history in relations between Ukraine, Russia, and Poland.
