The complete 50-part series covers around 1,500 years of Russian history. After 1991 and Glasnost, we thought Russians would be like the rest of Europe. To understand why not, we need to go back in time.
In this volume we have: The founding of the Russian state in 860 by Kievan Rus and the adoption of Christianity in 988; The rule of the Mongols in the 13th/14thcenturies; the Tsars -Ivan IV ("The Terrible"); expansion into Siberia; Peter the Great and the reinvention of Russia; Catherine the Great flirts with Enlightenment style reform; Alexander liberates the serfs in 1861; And finally .... The First World War and the Revolution.
