Description

18th century seems to be one of the most thoroughly studied periods of Russian history with hundreds of books written both by Russian and Western historians and thousands of historical documents published. But knowing all the major facts doesn’t necessarily mean that we understand them properly. While 18th century was crucial for Russian history its proper understanding is equally important for the interpretation of what happened with Russia in course of three centuries that followed. Meanwhile with some of the new research works that have appeared lately it has become evident that some of our basic perceptions about 18th century Russia (especially its social history) need to be revised.
