The Ruling Families of Rus by Christian Raffensperger
A new, family-based history of the region known as Kyivan Rus.
'Twenty-five years ago, Donald Ostrowski helped to alter conventional views of the Mongol influence on RussiaNow, with his collaborator Christian Raffensperger, he offers a novel interpretation of early Rus history, focusing on families rather than dynasties. Ostrowski and Raffensperger reveal the roles of these families in Rus history from about the tenth through the sixteenth centuries. The families not only dominated political life but also had dramatic influences on the economy, art, culture, and religion. This well-written and jargon-free work will be attractive for the general reader and will serve as an important source for scholars.' - Morris Rossabi, Associate Adjunct Professor, Columbia University
