History of Russian Goverment. Karamzin N.M.

Karamzin is our first historian and the last chronicler... - This definition was given by A.S. Pushkin to the great enlightener, writer and historian N.M. Karamzin. The famous “History of the Russian State”, all twelve volumes of which were included in this book, has become a major event in the country's public life, an era in the study of our past. As an appendix to it here also publishes a “note on ancient and new Russia”, which has been under an unspoken prohibition for almost two centuries. The publication is richly illustrated - and above all, engravings from the rarest album “Picturesque Karamzin”, which was published in Pushkin times.
