The Russian Empire in the Eighteenth Century: Tradition and Modernization by Aleksandr Kamenskii
Russia's 18th-century drive toward modernity and empire under the two greats - Peter I and Catherine I - is captured in this work by one of Russia's outstanding young historians. The author develops three themes: Russia's relationship to the West; the transformation of Holy Russia into a multinational empire; and the effects of efforts to modernize Russia selectively along Western lines. Writing in a clear, crisp style, Kamenskii enlivens the narrative with observations from contemporary literary figures and political commentators that point up the lasting significance of the events he describes.
