Russian History

by Neil M. Heyman

A succinct review of Russian history from earliest time to the present. Most 4-year colleges and some 2-year colleges offer a survey course, usually 2-semester, on sophomore, junior, and senior levels. Course is taken by history and political science majors; also by significant numbers of business, sociology, economics, and engineering majors. This book provides the essentials of the subject to supplement lecture and text. In view of the vast and dramatic changes taking place in the Soviet Union today, the book should attract general readers as well as students.
