State Power and Nobility in Russia in the Second Half of the 16th to the Early 17th Century

The book by the renowned historian A.P. Pavlov is dedicated to the history of the ruling elite of the Russian state (the Tsar's court) and the issues of the relationship between state power and the nobility of Russia in the second half of the 16th to the early 17th century. The book is a revised and expanded reissue of A.P. Pavlov's monograph "The Tsar's Court and Political Struggle under Boris Godunov (1584–1605)" published in 1992. As appendices, previously published articles by the author, thematically related to his monograph and developing its conclusions, are included. The monograph and articles by A.P. Pavlov published together provide a comprehensive picture of the socio-political life of Russia during the period in question.
