Romanov Dynasty

Romanov Dynasty is an illustrated guide to three centuries of Russian history — from the election of Mikhail Fyodorovich to the throne in 1613 to the abdication of Nicholas II in 1917. It gathers in one place what usually takes dozens of pages to piece together: who ruled when, what they accomplished, which wars they fought, what they built, and what is worth reading about it. WHAT'S INSIDE • 13 rulers — from Michael I to Nicholas II, each with a portrait, regnal years and full title • Biographies — a short summary to skim, and a longer essay to read • Achievements and reforms — from the Council Code and the Table of Ranks to the abolition of serfdom • Wars and campaigns — the Great Northern War, the Russo-Turkish campaigns, the Patriotic War of 1812 and more • Gallery — state portraits and paintings from museum collections • Places — the Peter and Paul Fortress, the Winter Palace, Peterhof, the Ipatiev Monastery and other landmarks of the age, each one openable on a map • Books — a reading list of historical literature for every ruler • Timeline — a visual scale showing how long each reign lasted • Favorites — mark the rulers you want to come back to • Read markers — see at a glance what you have already gone through WHO IT'S FOR For school and university students who need to get the order of reigns and the key events straight.
