Andrey Zubov. History of Russia in the 19th Century. Volume I

"A History of Russia in the 19th Century" by Doctor of Historical Sciences and Professor Andrei Borisovich Zubov is not a chronological retelling of events, but a reflection on the factors that contributed to the near-death of "historical Russia." Professor Zubov believes that the catastrophe of the early 20th century has much deeper roots than is commonly believed. A careful examination of these causes helps not only better understand the past but also explain the present.

The first volume covers a crucial period in the country's transition to modern statehood—the attempts to abolish serfdom, the drafting of the constitution, and the establishment of a new order in Europe thanks to Alexander I. These largely unsuccessful reforms, however, changed the thinking of the Russian elite and laid the foundations for Russian culture's Golden Age and the Great Reforms of Alexander II.
