Bøker av Paul Bushkovitch

Now in a new edition, this penetrating study by noted Yale historian Paul Bushkovitch casts new light on the profound impact of Peter the Great, one of the most revered and enigmatic leaders in world history, whose influence ultimately paved the way for liberalism, Western-style nationalism, and communism in Russia.

The Merchants of Moscow 1580-1650 examines the formation of the merchant class in Russia, focusing on the role of the Muscovite merchants in the establishment of foreign and domestic trade and commerce. Bushkovitch places the merchants of Moscow within the context of Eastern Europe rather than the Western European nations against whom the merchants are usually measured.
