Russia is a comprehensive book by Donald Mackenzie Wallace that explores the history, culture, and politics of Russia. The book is divided into three parts: the first part covers the geography, climate, and natural resources of Russia, while the second part delves into the country's history from the earliest times to the present day. The third and final part of the book looks at the social and political structure of Russia, including its government, economy, and society.The author provides an in-depth analysis of the Russian people, their customs, and their way of life. He also examines the role of the Russian Orthodox Church in shaping the country's culture and identity. Wallace's writing is clear and concise, making it easy for readers to follow along and understand the complex history and politics of Russia.Overall, Russia is an excellent resource for anyone interested in learning about the history and culture of one of the world's most fascinating countries. The book provides a comprehensive overview of Russia's past and present, and offers valuable insights into the country's unique identity and place in the world.The Zaporovian Commonwealth has been compared sometimes to ancient Sparta, and sometimes to the mediaeval Military Orders, but it had in reality quite a different character. In Sparta the nobles kept in subjection a large population of slaves, and were themselves constantly under the severe discipline of the magistrates. These Cossacks of the Dnieper, on the contrary, lived by fishing, hunting, and marauding, and knew nothing of discipline, except in time of war. Amongst all the inhabitants of the Setch--so the fortified camp was called--there reigned the most perfect equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
