Excerpt from Russia of the RussiansIt is this natural environment - so different from the snug compactness of an island with an even temperate climate that determines the main lines of Russian historical develop ment. The thousand odd years of Russian history Show how a people living on the south-west corner of the plain learned the plain's secret, discovered its rhythm, its steady alternation between relaxation and effort, between movement and repose, gradually secured possession of the overland trade - routes and, step by step, transforming commercial advantage into political power, finally subdued all its rivals and created an Empire whose limits are nearly everywhere coterminous with those of the plain, while in the Caucasus and Siberia they overpass them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
