Definitely a good overview of Russian history! Didn’t go into details but touched on most of the major historical moments chronologically. An interesting audiobook for the car!

This is interesting but very light.
A very short introduction to this topic.
This isn't at all boring.

A good, albeit necessarily brief, overview of the formation of the Russian state from the time of its founding through to the fall of Communism.
Seems to go into quite a bit of detail in regards to the early centuries and the submission of early Russia to the Mongols, or Tartars as they were then know, then rather skips over the various Russian Tsars and the ascension of the Romanoff's to the throne. The section on the rise and eventual fall of the Bolsheviks and Communism is quite well done; although, of course, it would take a far longer book than this one to deal with the machinations of the rise of Stalin.
A good primer to whet your appetite to delve into more specific periods.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. It is a good overview of Russia's history, and it was interesting. Most of the events I was aware of but not all.

Seriously boring. All of Russian history in 149 pages? Ridiculous! Just a very basic overview. I just finished Appebaum ‘s Gulag and wanted to know more about some things she mentioned. I still want to know. This is not a book worth reading.

High school level approach… not much analytical substance…Wikipedia style.
