Russia is the biggest and one of the most populous countries in the world. From the early, primitive state-like formations in the 9th century all the way to the creation of the first true tsardom of russia in 1547, the history of medieval russia is one filled with constant struggles for power, personal rivalries between various princes, bloody wars, and a search for identity. This period, which spans about eight centuries, is often forgotten when talking about russia, despite its importance. Nowadays, people's perception of russia is largely defined by the era of the soviet union, and it is not hard to understand why. However, exploring such a pivotal period that shaped modern russia is a must for everybody who is even partially interested in the history of the world. In this book, you will learn about: •The greek and roman influence in eastern europe •The migration period, aka the "barbarian invasions" •Charlemagne and the holy roman empire •The mongol invasions •Christian europe vs. The ottoman empire •The fall of constantinople •The path to world war i and world war ii •The jewish experience in eastern europe The russian revolution, apart from the chinese revolution, is perhaps the biggest social experiment the world has ever known. Suddenly, millions of people found themselves living in a country led by fervent marxists who had grand plans not only for their country but also for all humanity. Finally, the russian revolution continues to shape global politics, with modern-day russia built directly on the ruins of the great communist revolution.
