Choosing Your History: Forks in Russia's Path: From the Rurik Dynasty to the Oligarchs
19.99 €
This book by three Russian scholars is a collection of essays recounting historical "crossroads" where the history of our country could have taken a different course. But this is not an alternative history textbook. It offers profound and historically rich reflections on the emergence of civil society in Russia, the problem of historical choice, and the fact that history is always made by specific individuals, and of their own free will.
The idea for this book arose during seminars held by the Open Russia Foundation. Work on the book took two years, and when it was published in 2005, it sparked controversy both in the professional community and among ordinary readers interested in Russia's fate, and instantly became a bestseller. What you see before you is the edited and significantly expanded version of "Choosing Our History."
