Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Empire of Russia: Its Rise and Present Power The world is now too busy to read voluminous history The interminable details of battles, and the petty intrigues of courtiers and mistresses, have lost their interest. In this volume it has been our object to trace perspicuously the path which Russia has trod from earliest infancy to the present hour. The career of this empire has been so wild and wonderful that the historian can have no occa sion to call in the aid of fancy for the embellishment of his narrative.

Download or read book The Rise of the Russian Empire written by Hector H. Munro and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of the Russian Empire With the exception of a translation of Rambaud's somewhat disjointed work, there is no detailed history of Russia in the English language at all approaching modern standards. The reigns of Petr the Great and of some of his successors down to the present day - a period covering only 200 years - have been minutely dealt with, but the earlier history of a nation with whom we are coming ever closer into contact is to the English reader almost a blank. Whether the work now submitted will adequately fill the gap remains to be seen; such is its object. The rule observed with regard to the rendering of names of places and persons has been to follow the spelling of the country to which they belong as closely as possible. The spelling of Russian words employed, and curiously distorted, by English and other historians, has been brought back to its native forms.

Download or read book A Thousand Years of Russian History Classic Reprint written by Sonia E. Howe and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Thousand Years of Russian History There are few people in England, probably, who have not read some book or article on Russia, and some aspects of the life of that country are well known to English people; yet it is not too much to say that great ignorance prevails about Russia as a whole. The thing lacking is a knowledge of history, for history alone explains the present by the past, and offers the right vantage ground from which to view the great drama in action at this time. History alone will explain, for example, why Russia is so irresistibly drawn towards Constantinople, and why so much blood has been shed in vain attempts to gain possession of the latchkey to her own front door which the Western Powers have prevented her again and again from getting into her hands. The ancient story of Oleg the Wise hanging his shield on the gate of Byzantium in 911 is a symbol of Russia's policy. A knowledge of, history will also enable the reader to understand the living bond which exists between Russians and Balkan Slavs, who are all members of the same race and of the same Church, and how this bond has always reasserted itself when the weaker brothers had reason to call upon the stronger for help against Turkish Moslems. There are also other vital points which have to be ex plained before Russia's political position can be rightly understood; for the mighty Russian Empire has not been built in a day - from a small beginning and by a number of different processes it has grown to its present dimensions.

Fast steamers, telegraph cables, cheap postage, popular educa tion: these have helped us to see and hear more of each other, and to realize how near we are even to the uttermost parts of the earth.. And we are being driven as well as drawn together. As we read the extraordinary charges fabricated against us by certain writers in the French, German and Russian press, charges that are not only read but believed by many in the land of their invention, we realize that dangerous things are sometimes done by deluded people. Instinctively we gather closer together, back to back and shoulder to shoulder, ready for an onslaught which sanity would forbid.

Download or read book The Russian Empire of To Day and Yesterday 1913 written by Nervin O. Winter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russian Empire of to-Day and Yesterday, 1913: The Country and Its Peoples, Together With a Brief Review of Its History, Past and Present, and a Survey of Its Social, Political and Economic Conditions It has been the aim of the author to trace the growth of Russia, and show how Moscow, one of the smallest of the principalities, or appanages of mediaeval times, gradually became dominant and extended its sovereignty over the whole of what is now the Russian Empire; to show how the Muscovites, once the least important of the Slav tribes, acquired ascendancy and overcame all rivals, including their far more powerful Slavonic neigh bour, Poland. It is a startling story, full of surprises and dramatic incidents, the like of which can be scarcely duplicated in the history of any other nation of'europe. With the exception of a study of Russian history, the author had read very little descriptive of Russia before his own travels throughout the Empire. He wished to form his own opinions at first hand, rather than visit the country with impressions previously formed. The read ing of a book descriptive of a country by a vigorous writer is sure to leave permanent impressions, which will colour the reader's opinion, and the better the book is written the stronger will be such effect. Since returning from his travels, however, which included a visit to every important section in European Russia, and some unusual opportunities for investigation, the author has read prac tically every book of consequence that has appeared in English upon that Empire. It would be impossible to give credit to every writer whose work has proved helpful in the preparation of this volume, but a list of those books will be found in the Bibliography in the Appendix. Many writers have given us travel sketches which have been the result of casual observation and a superficial study of the country, and these works will either be found extremely laudatory or else filled with aberrant criticism. They are either intense admirers or inconsiderate detractors of Russia and things Russian. It has been the aim of the author in the ensuing pages to give the Russian due credit for his good qualities, and at the same time not to Spare comment where criticism is due. Nothing has been ih cluded for the purpose of sensationalism; nor, on the other hand, has anything been omitted for fear it might offend Russian sensibilities.
