In 1803, N. M. Karamzin, by then a renowned writer and journalist, was appointed historiographer by decree of Alexander I. From that time until the end of his life, having retired from literary activity, Karamzin was occupied with writing his magnum opus, "The History of the Russian State." He became the first to open Russian history to a wider readership. A. S. Pushkin wrote: "The publication of this book (as it was bound to be) caused a great stir and produced a strong impression. 3,000 copies were sold in a single month (something Karamzin himself had never expected)—a unique example in our land. Everyone, even society women, rushed to read the history of their homeland, previously unknown to them. It was a new discovery for them. Ancient Russia, it seemed, had been discovered by Karamzin, like America by Columbus."

This edition collects the key chapters of this renowned twelve-volume work, accompanied by detailed commentary prepared by scholarly experts. The book reproduces illustrations by masters of historical painting from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
