The Reforms of Peter the Great: Progress Through Violence in Russia (New Russian History) - Softcover
This psychologically penetrating revisionist account of the life and rule of Rusia's 18th-century Tsar-reformer develops an important theme - that is, what happens when the drive for "progress" is linked to an autocratic, expansionist impulse rather than to a larger goal of human emancipation? And, what has been the price of power - both for Peter and for Russia?

From the Back Cover:
This exciting and psychologically penetrating account of the life and rule of Russia's eighteenth-century tsar-reformer develops an important theme. What happens when the drive for "progress" is linked to an autocratic, expansionist impulse rather than a larger goal of human emancipation? What was the price of power - for Russia, and for Peter himself? Evgenii V. Anisimov's provocative history of Peter thus asks important questions with special resonance today.
About the Author:
Evgenii V. Anisimov was educated in Leningrad (St. Petersburg), where he is a senior research scholar at the St. Petersburg Branch of the Institute of Russian History, Russian Academy of Sciences. He is currently a fellow at the Russian Research Center, Harvard University.
