商品簡介
The complex and often turbulent history of Russia over the course of 2000 years is brought to life in a series of 176 maps. It covers not only the wars of expansion of Russia, but also a wealth of social and economic details of its history from famine and anarchism to the growth of naval strength and the strengths of the river systems. From 800 BC to the fall of the Soviet Union and beyond, this guide to Russian history covers: war and conflict - from the triumph of the Goths between 200 and 400 BC to the defeat of Germany at the end of the Second World War, and the end of the Cold War; politics - from the rise of Moscow in the Middle Ages to revolution, the fall of the monarch and the collapse of communism; industry, economics and transport - from the Trans-Siberian Railway between 1891-1917 to the Virgin Lands Campaign and the growth of heavy industry; and society, trade and culture - from the growth of monasticism to peasant discontent, Labour Camps and the geographical distribution of ethnic Russians, and Russia's growing arms trading, and gas and oil exports.
