Media Reviews

(New York Herald-Tribune) "An outstanding work . . . a remarkable picture of the growth and various phases of Russian culture." (The Commonweal) "Beyond doubt will survive the whims of time. The reader is offered a rare opportunity to follow the evolution of Russia's institutions and ideas with the help of an extremely competent guide-an historian of prodigious erudition and broad-minded objectivity." (Survey Graphic)
