The Russian Empire presents the expansion and government of a vast Eurasian state from the age of Peter the Great to the fall of Nicholas II. It follows military conquest, administrative centralisation and the incorporation of peoples across the Baltic, Caucasus, Central Asia and Siberia.
The book examines serfdom, reform, industrialisation, nationalism and the relationship between autocracy and the Orthodox Church. It concludes with war, revolution and the inability of imperial institutions to manage rapid social and political change.
