Russia and the Soviet Union
I'm planning a future long trip to Russia and neighboring countries, so thought I ought to start getting some idea of Russia's history. I knew quite a bit from the 1917 revolution onwards but was pretty sketchy before that.
This is a decent primer on Russian history, I think others have said that it was a set text for college courses they were studying. I think it reads halfway between academic text and accessible history book.
The book is organized into neat periods of time, which made it easy to read. The author sometimes picks out historical incidents and explains why these are important in modern-day Russia, and sometimes he allows the reader to make his/her own connections.
If you are looking to get a basic understanding of Russia's history. This does the job well.
