Print on Demand. This book is an enthralling analysis of the expansion of the Russian Empire from its humble beginnings as an obscure collection of Slavic tribes in the ninth century to the vast empire it is today. The author traces the empire's military conquests, beginning with the principality of Moscow's war against the Golden Horde, an empire ruled by descendants of Genghis Khan. This formative period would see the rise of influential figures, such as Catherine the Great, Tsarina Elizabeth, and Alexander I, whose campaigns and shrewd diplomatic strategy brought about advancements on all fronts. Readers will be enthralled by the history and context behind the geopolitical maneuverings that eventually put Russia on the path to becoming a maritime power and its ambitious quest for warm water ports and coastlines — a quest that continues to shape international relations to this day. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

- Modern History of Russia
An atlas of power, faith, and control in early Russia.
This book examines how a vast plain became a continent-spanning empire, how religion shaped law and daily life, and how dissenting voices challenged a powerful Orthodox state.
From the formation of Moscow to the era of the Mongol yoke, the narrative traces how Slavo-Russian peoples expanded, absorbed neighbors, and forged a centralized power. It also surveys the Orthodox Church’s role in society, the limits of religious liberty, and how state policy toward dissenters evolved, sometimes through harsh measures and sometimes through limited reform.- See how geography, migration, and conquest set the stage for Russia’s growth.
- Learn how the church influenced civil life, marriage, baptism, and social class.
- Explore the tensions between state authority and religious dissent, including laws that restricted sects and the impact on families.
- Understand how persecution paradoxically fostered a more moral, organized dissent in some communities.
Ideal for readers of history and those curious about how faith and power intertwine in shaping a nation.

If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
