The twentieth century was, for Russia, one of the most challenging in its history. The country experienced war, revolution and systemic collapse, all of which brought serious challenges. Only by examining the whole century can modern Russia be properly understood and key questions as to the impact of war, revolution, collapse, the Cold War and Russia's post-Soviet development be addressed. This book contains key articles on history and politics from across the period; from the last Tsar, the Russian Revolution, the Soviet Union and the Second World War, right up to the post-Soviet period.
