Russia’s 18th-century drive toward modernity and empire under the two "greats" – Peter I and Catherine II – is captured in this work by one of Russia’s outstanding young historians. The author develops three themes: Russia’s relationship to the West; the transformation of "Holy Russia" into a multinational empire; and the effects of efforts to modernize Russia selectively along Western lines. Writing in a clear, crisp style, Kamenskii enlivens the narrative with observations from contemporary literary figures and political commentators that point up the lasting significance of the events he describes.
