An accunt f the day-t-day scramble t make ends meet after the endf the Sviet Unin, letters recrding rdinary Russians’ reactins t theRevlutin as events unflded in 1917, and ecerpts frm a siteenth-centurymanual instructing elite Muscvites n prper husehld management—
TheRussia Reader 
brings these and many ther selectins tgether in this intr-ductin t the histry, culture, and plitics f the wrld’s largest cuntry,frm the earliest written accunts f the Russian peple t tday. Cnveyingthe teture f everyday life alngside eperiences f epic histrical events,the reader is lled with the vices f men and wmen, rulers and revlutin-aries, peasants, sldiers, literary gures, émigrés, jurnalists, and schlars.Mst f the selectins are by Russians; thirty are translated int English fr the rst time. The cllectin is illustrated with maps, paintings, phtgraphs,psters, and cartns; fteen images appear in clr. The vlume’s editrsintrduce each f the thematic sectins and all f the written selectins.
The Russia Reader 
incrprates sng lyrics, jkes, anecdtes, and flk-tales as well as pems, essays, and ctin by writers including Pushkin,Dstyevsky, Tlsti, and Akhmatva. Transcripts frm the shw trials f majr Party gures and an accunt f hw staff at the Lenin Library inMscw were instructed t interact with freigners are amng the manyselectins based n persnal memirs and archival materials nly recentlymade available t the public. Frm a tenth-century emissary describing hisencunters in Kyivan Rus’, t a scientist recalling her life in a new researchcity built frm scratch in Siberia during the 1950s, t a nvelist depicting thedecadence f the “New Russians” in the 2000s,
The Russia Reader

“Adele Barker and Bruce Grant have selected a fascinatinggrup f writings reecting Russian reality, past and pres-ent, mst by Russians themselves. They make absrbingreading and cnvey insights that penetrate the veil f mys-tery that has s lng bscured the ‘Russian sul.’”—

The Russia Reader 
prvides a wnderful verview f Russianlife and culture acrss the centuries, frm the emergence f Muscvy and Russian orthdy t the present day. The edi-trs have dne a remarkable jb in selecting a range f tetsthat prvide a sweeping verview f the cmpleity, drama,passin, and tragedy f Russian life. Their brief intrductinshelpfully situate the tets.”—

"The Legitimacy of the Middle Ages" (page 23). "Legitimacy"? An absurd title. Couldn't the authors (or Duke) do better?
