- Summary:
- "Nineteen articles written by an international team of scholars representing a broad spectrum of fields showcase emerging work that adds depth and vibrancy to our understanding of early Russian and Ukrainian history. These studies shed light on political culture and ritual; the interaction of imagery, spirituality, and politics; religious praxis, social history; and early modern espionage. Several focus on the eighteenth century, probing cartography, pedagogy, and innovations in governance in Petrine Russia"--Provided by publisher.
