Империя в эпоху перемен. Россия XIX века в событиях и лицах

The "golden age" of Russia, what do we know about it? The unprecedented flourishing of Russian culture, the phenomenal growth of political power, the encouraging pace of economic growth, the liberation of the peasants from serfdom and serious structural reforms are just a bunch of facts, but what was behind all this? If you want to "dig" deeper, this book is what you need. The ornate history of the 19th century is still very few people have been able to fully understand. Dry facts from ordinary history books do not provide a detailed answer to the question: "Why did Russia's fantastic rise end in complete collapse in 1905-1917?" The book that you are holding in your hands will allow you to observe historical processes through the prism of the fates of the greatest representatives of the 19th century. This is not just another textbook, but a fascinating historical analysis, strewn with little-known facts and imbued with a new look at seemingly familiar events. It forces us to reconsider everything that we knew before about the "Russian" XIX century.
