Early Imperial RussiaHIS2EIR - Early Imperial Russia Author: Dr Adrian Jones
In this subject, students examine the emergence, consolidation and development of Russian state and society in a hitherto 'wild' region in eastern Europe. The formative phase in the political, social and intellectual history of the Tsardom of Muscovy is traced. The focus is on the interplay of strange dichotomies like those between autocracy and oligarchy, patriarchy and communalism, xenophobia and Westernism, in shaping Russian state, society and culture in the turbulent era of Ivan the Terrible.

Consequences of Ivan the Terrible
Wednesday, 26 February, 2014
Adrian concludes his lecture series by discussing the Time of Troubles in Russia which followed the death of Ivan IV in 1584: the periods of Tsars Fedor Ivanovich and Boris Godunov, and the ensuing civil war. He tries to set these events in a wider European context. Copyright 2014 Adrian Jones / La Trobe University, all rights reserved. Contact for permissions.
