Book Synopsis Muscovy and Sweden in the Thirty Years' War 1630-1635 by : B. F. Porshnev
Download or read book Muscovy and Sweden in the Thirty Years' War 1630-1635 written by B. F. Porshnev and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-12-07 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an English translation of important writings on the Thirty Years' War by the great Soviet historian B. F. Porshnev. Little is known of the Muscovite contribution to the conflict and Paul Dukes - arguably Britain's senior historian of ancien regime Russia - has selected the most valuable areas of Porshnev's unparalleled archival research to fill a crucial gap in the literature of the seventeenth century. In placing this work in the context of Porshnev's larger undertaking, Professor Dukes' substantial introduction assesses Porshnev's critics and evaluates his contribution to our understanding of the Thirty Years' War and of relations between Eastern and Western Europe at the time. A significant reinterpretation of a fascinating period, the book will interest both Russian specialists and those working more generally in seventeenth- century European history.
Book Synopsis Modernizing Muscovy by : Jarmo Kotilaine
Download or read book Modernizing Muscovy written by Jarmo Kotilaine and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-08-02 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2004. Modernizing Muscovy is a comprehensive account of seventeenth-century Russian history. It rejects the traditional interpretation of this era as the twilight of the Russian Middle Ages. By revealing important instances of dynamic change in the late Muscovite state, economy, and society, the book demonstrates the crucial importance of pre-Petrine reform in Russia’s transition to one of the great powers of the world. The book’s broad scope makes it a veritable encyclopaedia of late Muscovite history. It both synthesizes previous scholarship and breaks new ground in many important areas.
Book Synopsis Foreigners in Muscovy by : Simon Dreher
Download or read book Foreigners in Muscovy written by Simon Dreher and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the late fifteenth and early eighteenth centuries, the State of Muscovy emerged from being a rather homogenous Russian-speaking and Orthodox medieval principality to becoming a multi-ethnic and multi-religious empire. Not only the conquest of the neighbouring Tatar Khanates and the colonisation of Siberia demanded the integration of non-Christian populations into the Russian state. The ethnic composition of the capital and other towns also changed due to Muscovite policies of recruiting soldiers, officers, and specialists from various European countries, as well as the accommodation of merchants and the resettlement of war prisoners and civilians from annexed territories. The presence of foreign immigrants was accompanied by controversy and conflicts, which demanded adaptations not only in the Muscovite legal, fiscal, and economic systems but also in the everyday life of both native citizens and immigrants. This book combines two major research fields on international relations in the State of Muscovy: the migration, settlement, and integration of Western Europeans, and Russian and European perceptions of the respective "other". Foreigners in Muscovy will appeal to researchers and students interested in the history and social makeup of Muscovy and in European–Russian relations during the early modern era.

Book Synopsis The Russian Empire and Grand Duchy of Muscovy by : Jacques Margeret
Download or read book The Russian Empire and Grand Duchy of Muscovy written by Jacques Margeret and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2010-11-23 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translated by Chester S. L. Dunning Jacques Margeret was a mercenary soldier who arrived in Russia in 1600 during the reign of Boris Godunov. For six years he served Boris and his successor Tsar Dmitri Ivanovich, first as co-commander of foreign troops and later as captain of the elite palace guard. Margeret offers a unique first-hand account of the political intrigues of this turbulent time and ponders the question of the pretender's true identity. Writing for the French public, to whom Muscovy was virtually unknown, Margeret also describes Russian geography, climate, flora and fauna, customs, the Russian Orthodox Church, the military, and daily life at court. Dunning has translated the edition first printed in France in 1607 and provided notes identifying obscure references and evaluating the accuracy of Margeret's observations in light of accumulated historical research.

Download or read book Muscovy written by Francesca Wilson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published 1970, Muscovy presents a lively and amusing selection of travellers’ tales from the most important of old and rare books. There is the journal of the Dutch sailor Struys, whose imbroglios with Cossacks and Tartars reads more like a picturesque novel than a seaman’s log. There are accounts by visitors long resident in Russia, who learned the language, made friends with people like Captain John Perry, engineer to Peter the Great, Dr Cook, physician to Prince Galitzin, Martha Wilmot, the Irish girl who helped Princess Dashkov to write her memoirs, Daniel Wheeler, the Quaker whom Alexander I invited to drain the marshes of St. Petersburg. Most of the travellers were baffled by the immense scale of Russia, some perplexed and amused by its different ways of life. They describe the Russian landscape and the Russian people: how they lived in their cities and their villages, what they ate and drank, how they built their homes, tilled their fields, how they worshipped, bore tyranny under which they lived, celebrated birth, marriage, and death. Although Miss Wilson’s account ends in 1900, her readers will recognize in the writings of the travellers’ sudden echoes and likenesses of Russia today. This is a must read for students of Russian history.
Download or read book Marta of Muscovy written by Phil Stong and published by eNet Press. This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life of Catherine I , Empress of Russia, was said by Voltaire to be nearly as extraordinary as that of Peter the Great himself. Although there are no documents to confirm the date or place of her birth, it is thought that Marta of Muscovy came from Lithuanian stock and was one of four children of a Catholic peasant, Samuel Skavronski. When her parents died of the plague while she was still a young child, the family scattered and Marta was raised by a Lutheran pastor and educator, Johann Ernst Gluck, who was the first to translate the Bible into Latvian. As a member of the Gluck family, Marta was never taught to read or write, but was raised to do what all peasant women of that era were born to do -- laundry, cleaning, caring for children, tending and feeding animals, and cooking. In these as in all things, Marta was not ordinary. Energetic, compassionate, charming, and wise, Marta gradually rose from housekeeper of a rectory to housekeeper of a nation. Catherine met Peter through one of his friends and soon became his mistress. Underneath her gentle exterior was an astute woman with penetrating insights and she understood his character -- a man rent by a thousand threats, loyalties, hatreds, fears, friendships, and genius, not common in any situation or in any character -- and over time, he became increasingly dependent upon her. She traveled everywhere with him, campaigning by his side and sharing all the hardships of the Tsar's life. Challenged by the powerful forces that were changing the face of Europe, together Catherine and Peter rode the cusp to greatness. Catherine and Peter later married secretly and had twelve children, two of whom survived into adulthood. Their daughter, Elizabeth, became Empress Elizabeth I and regularly whipped Frederick the Great and all of the tall Cossacks in her own army. When Peter died without naming an heir, Catherine's candidacy for the throne was supported by the guards and by several powerful and important individuals. As a result, Catherine was almost immediately proclaimed Empress of Russia. Marta of Muscovy is an impressive biography that pays tribute not just to Marta, but to the people and spirit of Russia.
