I picked this up as a supplement to Vernadsky's History of Russia and the two volumes of readings also used a basic texts while taking the two semester sequence of Russian History at Grinnell College with Greg Guroff during the sophomore year. Coming in at just over 400 pages, this is a highly condensed history and the readability suffers as a consequence.

Poor Russia, always seemed to be somewhat backward and behind the western nations according to this book. Always trying to overcome an inferiority complex.
Lots of data and a good thumbnail picture of Russian history.
Precise and concise.
