History of Russia

Principalities, empire, revolution, Soviet rule and late twentieth-century upheaval

Follow the long and contested history of the polities that became Russia and the Soviet Union: medieval Rus, Muscovy, empire, the Romanovs, revolution, Soviet state power, wartime catastrophe and late Soviet crises. Films are Russian, Soviet and foreign perspectives; not all territories or peoples represented were Russian. Ukraine, Belarus and other regions require distinct historical voices.
