The Russian Empire. A Brief History with Illustrations

To embrace the ungraspable - this is the task set by the author of the book Maria Baganova. To fit the history of the Russian Empire into 240 pages is no easy feat. But, it must be said, the author has succeeded!

Open the book and find yourself at an assembly in the times of Peter I, see how St. Petersburg was built, find yourself next to Kutuzov on the Borodino battlefield or standing in line with the rebelling Decembrists at the Senate! Stroll through the canals and bridges, peek into magnificent temples...

Thanks to numerous illustrations, this walk will become an unforgettable journey through space and time!
