Restless Empire: A Beautifully Illustrated Atlas of Russian History
From the first Slavic migrations to the Romanovs? rise and the Putin era, Russia has endured for centuries as a nation marked by its vast size and rich diversity. Restless Empire illuminates the epic sweep of Russian history through a stunning full-color atlas that captures the essential cultural, political, economic, and military developments of this remarkable nation.
Like the double-headed eagle that represents its state emblem, Russia has always sought connections abroad, both to the East and West. The quest for secure trade routes, trustworthy allies, and defensible frontiers has shaped its destiny. Beginning in the fifteenth century, expansion beyond Muscovy?s forested confines initiated a series of historical transformations that would define Russia?s identity.
The waterways linking the Baltic to the Black and Caspian seas played a crucial role in Russia?s development from the Middle Ages onward. The age-old pursuit of warm-water ports culminated in the construction of St. Petersburg in the eighteenth century, heralding the rise of imperial Russia as it began to rival Europe?s Great Powers.
