From Rurik to Medvedev: A Russian History Timeline
Discover the sweeping narrative of Russia’s past with Evgeny Anisimov’s Chronology of Russian History. This updated work from the acclaimed historian—known for his bestselling History of Russia from Rurik to Putin—covers key events from the calling of the Varangians through the presidency of Dmitry Medvedev.
What sets this book apart is its global perspective. Rather than isolating Russian history, Anisimov places each milestone alongside contemporary world events. This approach helps readers compare Russia with its neighbors, both near and distant, and understand the country’s true place in the global timeline. The comparison challenges common myths—whether of Russia as “the most advanced” or “hopelessly backward”—offering a balanced view of its historical position.
Written in Anisimov’s signature clear and engaging style, this chronology is accessible to both newcomers and history enthusiasts. It does not aim to be a full world history but instead provides context, allowing you to feel the pulse of each era and see how Russia fits into the broader story of civilization.
