Eurasian empire. Age of queens

by Boris Akunin

Overview

The "Age of Queens" refers to the overwhelming of the 18th century in Russia, and it was a startlingly interesting period in history when Russia became a Eurasian empire expanding westward, southward and eastward. This time teaches us several important lessons: about the limitations of unlimited power, about the necessity and riskiness of reforms, about how Russia can and cannot be ruled. The book tells how the "eternal" Russian knots were tied: the national question, intrasocial confrontation, the thirst for freedom and the fear of the chaos it generated.
