[Krocht Ehlundovič · Rating 5 out of 5]

A classic (in a positive way) history book for high school students (for me, my IB students). I love this edition and style who the book is written - detailed, clear, complex and extensive; in addition as a bonus - activities and advises how to make notes and study. This is the must book for the one who wants to start knowing more about topic, not only a shallow ideas appearing as a critical knowledge...

The book is divided into 9 chapters, each analytically describes a particular problem (note for myself: read it again and prepare notes/lessons for 3 IB - HL + use activities!). It contains sources and economical graphs too. One day I want whole edition in my library.

Chapters are:
1. Introduction (it contains list of historiography schools about Russian history - very insightful and interesting; check other schools about different historical problem)
2. Imperial Russia (a necessary ride)
3. Development and reform, 1881 - 1914
4. Opposition to Tsardom, 1881 - 1914
5. War and Revolution, 1914 - 17
6. 1917: The October revolution (yummy part...)
7. The Bolshevik: Consolidation of Power, 1918 - 21
8. The Bolshevik and the Economy, 1918 - 21 (I like this, I like economical aspects)
9. Conclusion (making up a idea, opinion)

Knocked one star off for stating, as fact, that Lenin personally ordered the execution of the Romanovs. There is no evidence of this. It is an argument, not a fact.
