Russian Shorts - Die Buchreihe

Russian Shorts is a series of thought-provoking books published in a slim, beautifully designed format. The Shorts books provide concise examinations of key concepts, personalities, and moments in Russian historical and cultural studies, encompassing its vast diversity from the origins of the Kievan state to Putin's Russia. Each book is written in a nontechnical manner, covers a side of Russian history and culture that has not been well-understood, and is meant to stimulate debate. All books are peer-reviewed and meet the highest standards of scholarship.
