By integrating the human dimension into Russian history, this lively
textbook introduces Russian social history since 1861 to readers in
provocative and interesting new ways. The essays in this unique
collection are based largely on previously classified Russian archival
information available only since 1991. Bringing in the perspectives of
individuals and groups usually overlooked, the authors give the reader a
grassroots view of modern Russia. The Human Tradition in Modern Russia
is an ideal for courses on Russian history and civilization and modern
European history.
