A seemingly endless struggle against marauding hordes, a centuries-long desire to secure access to oceanic routes, an arduous evolution from an agrarian society to an industrial nation: these are some of the themes explored in Kochan’s short yet penetrating history of Russia. After more than four decades in print, Kochan’s “The Making of Modern Russia” remains a highly accessible overview of Russian history. Its main value is in providing a compact and convenient yet illuminating reference about the progress of Russia from its origins as the medieval state of Kiev Rus to a realm that covers more than one-eighth of the planet’s land mass. (This review refers to the 1963 edition.)
