Otherwise, generations of citizens and leaders will lack the record and guidelines of what actually happened.\" \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith this fundamental principle underlying the effort, Arthur C. Hasiotis, Ph.D. gives us an impressive study of Russian history, from its beginnings to the present day, emphasizing Russia's relationship of confrontation and cooperation - engagement and constraint - with the great Western powers. Challenging points in the standard historiography, this book presents a powerful reinterpretation of important movements and events. As such, it is far from a dry history, but dives into a number of topical controversies and key geopolitical questions which will keep readers both piqued and informed. Comes with an extensive subject-ordered bibliography and thorough panoply of documentation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e About the Author \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Arthur C.
