What is translatio Imperii? What tradition did the Russian Empire inherit from Assyria, Persia and Rome? What is Russia's mission in world history? K.V. Malofeev's book is devoted to the Empire, its past, present and future. The author explores the interaction in world history of the imperial beginning, based on religiously grounded power, and the beginning of trade and finance. Before the reader unfolds a grand historical panorama - Assyria and Babylon, Greece and Persia, Rome and Carthage and so on up to our time - the collapse of the Russian Empire, the rise and fall of the Soviet project, the establishment of the modern world order and attempts to counter it. Great conquerors, prophets and saints, trading corporations and bankers' houses act in these pages. The second volume examines the period from Russia's adoption of the imperial mission in the mid-fifteenth century to the revolutionary upheavals of 1917. The study, on the one hand, is based on the best achievements of domestic and world historiography, and, on the other hand, offers original historiosophic ideas developed by the author over decades. The book will be of interest both to specialist historians, philosophers, political scientists, economists, students and a wide range of history enthusiasts.
