About this book
Aimed at American schoolchildren, this condensed history of Russia grew out of the author's travels in the Far East, where he found he could not understand events without knowing what moved the czar's government. R. Van Bergen, who also wrote histories of Japan and China, begins with the realm itself and runs through the Norsemen in Russia, Saint Vladimir, the Mongol rule, Ivan the Great and Ivan the Terrible, the first Romanov, Peter the Great and Catherine II. The final chapters reach the wars of Napoleon, Alexander II, Nihilism and the war with Japan.
