This concise historical survey traces Russia from its early origins through the transformations that shaped the empire up to 1877. Written by a French historian after intensive study in Russia, the work offers a clear, disciplined account of political development, national expansion, and the forces that defined Russia's place in Europe and Asia.
Designed for readers seeking a compact introduction rather than an exhaustive academic treatment, this volume presents major periods and turning points in a direct narrative style. Its perspective reflects nineteenth-century historical scholarship while remaining useful for students, general readers, and collectors of classic history writing. As part of a broader world-history series, it provides an accessible entry point into the long formation of the Russian state, its rulers, institutions, conflicts, and evolving identity before the late imperial era.
