The third volume of the Cambridge History of Russia provides an

authoritative political, intellectual, social and cultural history of the

trials and triumphs of Russia and the Soviet Union during the twentieth century. It encompasses not only the ethnically Russian part

of the country but also the non-Russian peoples of the tsarist and

Soviet multinational states and of the post-Soviet republics. Beginning with the revolutions of the early twentieth century, chapters

move through the 1920s to the Stalinist 1930s, the Second World

War, the post-Stalin years and the decline and collapse of the USSR.

The contributors attempt to go beyond the divisions that marred

the historiography of the USSR during the Cold War to look for

new syntheses and understandings. The volume is also the first

major undertaking by historians and political scientists to use the

new primary and archival sources that have become available since

the break-up of the USSR.

Rona l d G r i g o r S u n y is Charles Tilly Collegiate Professor

of Social and Political History at the University of Michigan, and

Emeritus Professor of Political Science and History at the University of Chicago. His many publications on Russian history include

Looking Toward Ararat: Armenian Modern History (1993), and The

Soviet Experiment: Russia, the USSR, and the Successor States (1998).

This is a definitive new history of Russia from early Rus¡¯ to the

successor states that emerged after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Volume I encompasses developments before the reign of Peter I;

volume II covers the ¡®imperial era¡¯, from Peter¡¯s time to the fall of

the monarchy in March 1917; and volume III continues the story

through to the end of the twentieth century. At the core of all three

volumes are the Russians, the lands which they have inhabited and

the polities that ruled them while other peoples and territories

have also been given generous coverage for the periods when they

came under Riurikid, Romanov and Soviet rule. The distinct voices

of individual contributors provide a multitude of perspectives on

Russia¡¯s diverse and controversial millennial history.
