Richard Pipes (1923-2018) was a well-known historian who wrote several dozen books on Russia. The main theme of his research was the peculiarities of Russian history, determined by the geography and climate of our country, and in this regard, the differences between Russian civilization and Western civilization.
This book describes the formation and development of the Moscow kingdom, which for over two hundred years grew by an average of 35,000 square kilometers per year. How did this affect, together with climatic and geographical conditions, the political, economic and social patterns of Russian life, and why did Russian civilization become a "special purpose civilization"? R. Pipes shows all this in his thorough book, based on a large number of different sources.
