Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russian Shores of the Black Sea in the Autumn of 1852: With a Voyage Down the Volga, and a Tour Through the Country of the Don Cossacks At a time when the power of Russia seems about to be tested, and its vast resources called into requisition, the shores of the Volga are invested with an increased importance, for Russian Tartary is the gran ary of the Empire - If the Imperial forces are again to be matched with the armies of the West, the country of the Don Cossacks possesses an especial claim upon our attention, for the soldiers which are levied from its boundless steppes occupy the most prominent position among Muscovite troops - So long as the independence of Turkey is menaced by its insatiate neighbor, associations of the deepest significance attach to those provinces bordering upon the Black Sea which Russia has appro priated to herself within the last sixty years, and which compose a ter ritory as extensive as all that remains in Europe of the ill-fated empire from which they have been plundered.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oliphant began his visit with the aim of going salmon fishing in the rivers running into the White Sea but arriving at St Petersburg changed his plans and hence his narrative provides an account 'of the magnificent scenery, romantic cities and interesting inhabitants of the Crimea.' It also tells of the practical problems inherent in travel in a region that had largely been bypassed by European travellers and in which accommodation was 'execrable', 'the means of locomotion barbarous' and 'fine arts, literature and social life comparatively unworthy of attention.' Given the subsequent events in the region this travel guide was lapped up by the public and led to Oliphant becoming the London Times correspondent for the Crimea.
Download or read book In the Land of the Romanovs written by Anthony Cross and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2014-04-27 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of more than three centuries of Romanov rule in Russia, foreign visitors and residents produced a vast corpus of literature conveying their experiences and impressions of the country. The product of years of painstaking research by one of the world’s foremost authorities on Anglo-Russian relations, In the Lands of the Romanovs is the realization of a major bibliographical project that records the details of over 1200 English-language accounts of the Russian Empire. Ranging chronologically from the accession of Mikhail Fedorovich in 1613 to the abdication of Nicholas II in 1917, this is the most comprehensive bibliography of first-hand accounts of Russia ever to be published. Far more than an inventory of accounts by travellers and tourists, Anthony Cross’s ambitious and wide-ranging work includes personal records of residence in or visits to Russia by writers ranging from diplomats to merchants, physicians to clergymen, gardeners to governesses, as well as by participants in the French invasion of 1812 and in the Crimean War of 1854-56. Providing full bibliographical details and concise but informative annotation for each entry, this substantial bibliography will be an invaluable tool for anyone with an interest in contacts between Russia and the West during the centuries of Romanov rule.
