Istorija rossijskogo gosudarstva. Posle tjazheloj prodolzhitelnoj bolezni. Vremja Nikolaja II. Tom IX
This book is in Russian language. The ninth book of the series on Russian history. The Last Reign and the Collapse of the Monarchy (1894-1917) The books in this series are richly illustrated and contain numerous drawings, portraits, maps, and photographs. More literature has been written about this era than about the rest of Russian history combined. Entire academic institutions were devoted to the 'history of the revolution'-essentially a very short period. The collapse of a state is arguably the worst thing that can happen to a country. In Russia, it has happened twice: in the early 17th century, when the existing order disintegrated and the country sank into the Time of Troubles for several years, and in the early 20th century, when the same occurred on an incomparably larger scale. One could say that the previous volumes of the History served as preparation for this. This book attempts to explore the causes of the state's downfall. There is-and remains-hope that by carefully

Istorija rossijskogo gosudarstva. Epokha tsarits. Tom VI
This book is in Russian language. The sixth book of the series on Russian history. 'The Age of Women' and the Reformatting of Russia into an Autocratic-Noble State (1725-1801) The books in this series are richly illustrated and contain numerous drawings, portraits, maps, and photographs. 'The Era of the Empresses'-the sixth volume, covering events of 18th-century Russia-is an astonishingly fascinating period of the nation's history, when Russia transformed into a Eurasian empire expanding west, south, and east. This era teaches several important lessons: about the limits of unlimited power, the necessity and risks of reforms, and the ways one can-and cannot-govern Russia. The book shows how the 'eternal' knots of Russian history were tied: the national question, internal social conflict, the thirst for freedom, and the fear of the chaos it can create.
Istorija rossijskogo gosudarstva. Semnadtsatyj vek. Mezhdu Evropoj i Aziej. Tom IV
This book is in Russian language. The fourth book of the series on Russian history. The Time of Troubles and the Revival of the State. A New Dynasty (from the beginning to the end of the 17th century) The books in this series are richly illustrated and contain numerous drawings, portraits, maps, and photographs. The seventeenth century often appears as a kind of 'lost time,' when the country seemed to be standing still. Yet in the history of the Russian state this period occupies a very special place, where both 'fateful moments' and decades of gradual development are densely compressed together. The tightest knot of this era is the Time of Troubles-a truly terrifying and gripping spectacle. A crisis of comparable scale would not occur in Russia again until three centuries later, at the beginning of the 20th century. It is also in the 17th century that we must seek the roots of some of Russia's most acute problems-issues that remain unresolved to this day. The book Between Europe and
