The Reforms of Peter the Great: Progress Through Coercion in Russia (New Russian History) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This psychologically penetrating revisionist account of the life and rule of Rusia's 18th-century Tsar-reformer develops an important theme - that is, what happens when the drive for "progress" is linked to an autocratic, expansionist impulse rather than to a larger goal of human emancipation? And, what has been the price of power - both for Peter and for Russia?

From the Back Cover
This exciting and psychologically penetrating account of the life and rule of Russia's eighteenth-century tsar-reformer develops an important theme. What happens when the drive for "progress" is linked to an autocratic, expansionist impulse rather than a larger goal of human emancipation? What was the price of power - for Russia, and for Peter himself? Evgenii V. Anisimov's provocative history of Peter thus asks important questions with special resonance today.
About the Author
Evgenii V. Anisimov was educated in Leningrad (St. Petersburg), where he is a senior research scholar at the St. Petersburg Branch of the Institute of Russian History, Russian Academy of Sciences. He is currently a fellow at the Russian Research Center, Harvard University.
