From Rus' to Russia. Toroptsev A.P.

The book of Alexander Toroptsev talks about the Moscow period in the history of the Russian state. One of the fragments of Ancient Rus'-the Grand Duchy of Vladimir-becomes the cradle of the new state center-Moscow, the city around which the Moscow-People (the term I.E. Zabelin) begins to form a centralized Russian state. Through the fate of the Moscow (and not only) princes, through the evolution of the relationship between the authorities and the people, the author shows how the Moscow state turned into the Russian Empire of Peter. The book is intended for a wide range of readers interested in Russian history.
