About this book

Hector H. Munro, better known as the short-story writer Saki, published this history of Russia under his own name in 1900. His preface says English readers had no detailed account of the country's early centuries, and he set out to fill that gap, keeping Russian names close to their native forms, so Kiev is never turned into Kieff. A map shows Russia under the early Rurikovitch princes, and a list of works consulted names Karamzin, Solovev, Kostomarov and Rambaud among the sources.
