“Russian History” by Vasily Osipovich Klyuchevsky (1841 - 1911) - the classical work of one of the deepest domestic thinkers, epic, occupying a worthy place on a par with the works of famous Russian historians N.M. Karamzin and N. I. Kostomarov.

At the lectures of the V. O. Klyuchevsky audience of Moscow University, they were crowded with listeners who wanted to absorb and understand the course of Russian history, which artistically “performed” from the department Vasily Osipovich. The minting of its formulations, the conciseness of the definitions, the intonation wealth fascinated the listeners. Klyuchevsky knew how to not only intelligibly explain the historical essence of objects and phenomena, but also visibly show the dynamics of the development of any event and how it fit into the harmonious building of magnificent Russian history.

“The past must be known not because it has passed , and because leaving, not skillfully remove their consequences. ” (V.O. Klyuchevsky).
