These are fascinating pages about the middle ages of Russian history; it covers about 800 years from the 9th to the 17th centuries。 The earliest independent state in Russia was in Kyiv。 With the murder of Prince Igor， the Kievan Rus were without a leader。 So， Olga， the widow of Igor， ruled for several years until her son was old enough to rule。 She maintained good relations with the Byzantines。 During her time， she converted to Christianity -- even though Kyiv was pagan。The Mongols ruled Russia These are fascinating pages about the middle ages of Russian history; it covers about 800 years from the 9th to the 17th centuries。 The earliest independent state in Russia was in Kyiv。 With the murder of Prince Igor， the Kievan Rus were without a leader。 So， Olga， the widow of Igor， ruled for several years until her son was old enough to rule。 She maintained good relations with the Byzantines。 During her time， she converted to Christianity -- even though Kyiv was pagan。The Mongols ruled Russia for 240 years， between the 1200s and 1400s CE。 They allowed the Russians to maintain their customs， language， and government。 It took the Muscovites 100 years to earn independence from the Golden Horde。 Ivan III was the grand duke of Moscow from 1462 to 1505。 He unified Russian lands and started the Muscovite Russia。As Moscow became a more important city， the Orthodox See moved there， making it the spiritual capital of Russia。 Moscow was called "the third Rome。" This book illustrates the Russians' incredible difficulty in creating their own country。 The author ends the book at the time of the Romanov's rising to power。 Much of Russia's Middle Ages was a time of great stress and instability。 。。。more

I am very interested in the history of medieval people and life in those times。 This time again， I was not disappointed with the new edition of Captivating History about Medieval Russians。 I learned a lot of new things and thus understood the vicissitudes and nature of the Russian people。I was also able to gain in-depth insight into the political intrigues of the time。 I understood the relationship between Kiev and Moscow， the influence of the Mongol Empire on Russian society， and much more。 A r I am very interested in the history of medieval people and life in those times。 This time again， I was not disappointed with the new edition of Captivating History about Medieval Russians。 I learned a lot of new things and thus understood the vicissitudes and nature of the Russian people。I was also able to gain in-depth insight into the political intrigues of the time。 I understood the relationship between Kiev and Moscow， the influence of the Mongol Empire on Russian society， and much more。 A readable and intriguing book， I would recommend it to anyone interested in this culture。 。。。more
