Между Европой и Азией. История российского государства. Семнадцатый век. by Boris Akunin

История российского государства. Семнадцатый век

A lively, narrative account of seventeenth‑century Russia that traces how the Romanov dynasty consolidated power after the Time of Troubles, navigated wars and diplomacy with Poland, Sweden and the Ottoman world, expanded into Siberia, and wrestled with deep social and religious upheavals—most notably the church reforms of Patriarch Nikon and the ensuing Raskol and popular rebellions such as Stepan Razin’s uprising—while balancing competing European influences and older Eurasian traditions to shape the emerging modern Russian state.
