| Summary |
"This is an accessible and comprehensive guide that introduces students to the wide range of sources that can be used to engage with Russian history from the early medieval to the late Soviet periods. The book begins by considering approaches that can be taken towards the study of Russian history using primary sources. It then moves on to assess such sources as memoirs, autobiographies, journals, newspapers, art, maps, film and TV. Chronologically wide-ranging and supported by further reading, as well as suggestions to help students guide their own enquiries, it is the ideal resource for any student undertaking research on Russian history"-- Provided by publisher |
