Reading Russian Sources is an accessible and comprehensive guide that introduces students to the wide range of sources that can be used to engage with Russian history from the early medieval to the late Soviet periods. Divided into two parts, the book begins by considering approaches that can be taken towards the study of Russian history using primary sources. It then moves on to assess both textual and visual sources, including memoirs, autobiographies, journals, newspapers, art, maps, film and TV, enabling the reader to engage with and make sense of the burgeoning number of different sources and the ways they are used. Contributors illuminate key issues in the study of different areas of Russia’s history through their analysis of source materials, exploring some of the major issues in using different source types and reflecting recent discoveries that are changing the field. In so doing, the book orientates students within the broader methodological and conceptual debates that are defining the field and shaping the way Russian history is studied. Chronologically wide-ranging and supported by further reading, along with suggestions to help students guide their own enquiries, Reading Russian Sources is the ideal resource for any student undertaking research on Russian history.

"Women can do everything, men can do the rest.""Between a woman's 'yes' and a woman's 'no,' it's hard to pass a needle.""What goes in with mother's milk goes out with the soul." --Russian proverbsThis rich anthology of source materials makes available for the first time in any language an extensive variety of primary sources on the lives of Russian women from the reign of Peter the Great to the Bolshevik revolution. The selections are drawn from a wide variety of sources, published and unpublished, including memoirs, diaries, legal codes, correspondence, short fiction, poetry, ethnographic observations, and folklore, with primacy given to sources produced by women and previously unavailable in English translation. Organised thematically, the documents focus on women's family life, work and schooling, public activism, creative self-expression, and sexuality and spirituality, as well as on the cultural ideals and legal framework which constrained women of all social classes. Introductions to chapters and to individual selections provide context for the sources and highlight both the continuities and changes that occurred in Russian women's lives over time. This compendium serves as a unique guide to the social, economic, political, and cultural history of women in Imperial Russia. The volume includes illustrations, a chronology, a glossary of Russian terms, a map, and a guide to further reading. Russian Women: Experience and Expression is an ideal collection for classroom use in Russian history, literature, and culture courses and in comparative courses in women's history.

How does the historian approach primary sources? How do interpretations differ? How can they be used to write history? Reading Primary Sources goes a long way to providing answers for these questions. In the first part of this unique volume, the chapters give an overview of both traditional and new methodological approaches to the use of sources, analyzing the way that these have changed over time. The second part gives an overview of twelve different types of written sources, including letters, opinion polls, surveillance reports, diaries, novels, newspapers, and dreams, taking into account the huge expansion in the range of written primary sources used by historians over the last thirty years. This book is an up-to-date introduction into the historical context of these different genres, the ways they should be read, the possible insights and results these sources offer and the pitfalls of their interpretation. All of the chapters push the reader beyond a conventional understanding of source texts as mere "reflections" of a given reality, instead fostering an understanding of how each of the various genres has to be seen as a medium in its own right. Taking examples of sources from around the globe, and also including a student-friendly further reading section, this is the perfect companion for every student of history who wants to engage with sources.

The first questions people typically ask a Russian: "Is it always very cold in Russia?" and "Do you always drink vodka?" This book answers these and many more real questions sent by people living in 100+ countries. Although Russia is in the world news a lot, it is still a black box. Media outlets mostly cover such topics as politics, international relations, and current events, and multiple guide books provide practical information for tourists. However, none of those sources provide an in-depth understanding of day-to-day life in Russia. This book gives readers an insider's view on the psychology and habits of Russian people, describes how people live their daily life now as opposed to during the Soviet era, and helps its readers to understand the past, present, and future of Russia. The author, Tanya Golubeva was born in Moscow at the time, when the country was still called USSR. Her personal story is quite unusual, she had a unique opportunity to travel and live in other countries even before the collapse of the Soviet Union. Embracing different cultures and learning about cross-cultural differences has become her passion. Finally, she decided to write the blog and later the book, that will help you to Understand Russia. Discover, be surprised, laugh, and enjoy!

25 / 20 // 400 / 300 Strengths and weaknesses This should be well placed to capitalise on the anticipated shift from teaching chunks of 20th Century Russia to teaching the whole thing that should be even further down the line by 2014. I think including primary sources will be an advantage – will it have a textbook-y text design? I don’t think it needs the full text box / further reading / sample questions treatment though. The author team and reports are very American, despite the predominance of the print run being for UK / ROW. Can we have a couple more readers from the UK, perhaps from Michael Hughes at Liverpool or Christopher Read at Warwick, who are involved with teaching long 20th C Russia? Could you also gauge reaction to an all – American author team? It might not be an issue at all. Overview of competition The Penguin History of Modern Russia: From Tsarism to the Twenty-First Century, 3e does seem to have the same kind of coverage as our textbook, "provides a superb panoramic viewpoint on Russia" and includes social history as well. It might be worth getting hold of a copy to do some competitor analysis with? Opportunities for marketing—Main opportunity is in the UK Target audience—4051 names on GT for modern European history. Cross-marketing opportunities Eastern European studies, Russian language,politics. Appropriate courses This book fits much better into courses like "The Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union" at Aberystwyth than the sectioned off modules mentioned above. It may also fit well for Slavonic / Russian Language degrees that have an element of history / cultural studies attached, for instance at Sheffield. Additional marketing— UK and ROW text letter. Any other comments - Price and print runs are fine. This will form a really strong cluster with the new MCW, and the two Kocho Williams books.

J. L. Black's latest work is a rich and carefully crafted attempt to expose the textures of Russia's perceptions of itself and its place in the world. Based almost entirely on Russian sources, Vladimir Putin and the New World Order argues that to understand Russian foreign policymaking, international situations must be viewed through the prism of Russian analysts and officials.
