History of Russia and the Russian People: From Ancient Times to the Present;

This is a book about the History of Russia and the Russian people.

Centuries before the Eastern Slavs established their first major political entity (Kievan Rus’), the East European Plain, and especially the territory of modern day Ukraine, was inhabited by a variety of Indo-European and Indo-Aryan tribes (in addition to those making up the Eastern Slavs), including the Scythians (600BC to 200BC), Goths, Avars, Magyars and Huns (100 to 900AD).

This book traces the history of Russia and her people from these earliest days, when they struggled to form their first polity, and follows their journey through the middle ages, through the Bolshevik Revolution, the Great War, rise and fall of the Soviet Union, and the reemergence of Russia as a world power under Vladimir Putin.
