The Cold War is usually thought of in terms of fear, potential nuclear war, and espionage. While these were elements of the years between the end of World War II and the 1990s, the competition between the US and the USSR had some real benefits. Perhaps, the best and most impressive accomplishments during this time resulted from the Space Race.

No nation suffered more losses during the Second World War than the Soviet Union. The figure most historians recognize as roughly accurate is 20 million. The exact figure is impossible to tally for a number of reasons: destroyed records, inexact pre-war records, Soviet politicization of the population figures before and after the war, and much more. No matter what the exact total was, what is known is that the Soviet population only recovered its losses from the war in the late 1950s.

Iosif Vissarionovich, Stalin, fue el hijo de un zapatero, un preso, un revolucionario, un líder militar y, entre 1928 y 1953 manejó a voluntad el destino del país más grande del mundo y la vida de sus ciudadanos. Su recuerdo aún genera una mezcla de terror y añoranza en millones de personas y la historia del S. XX no puede entenderse sin comprender a fondo su vida y el contexto en el que vivió hasta en sus más nimios detalles.

An undoubtedly interesting, exciting, and dramatic chapter of Russian history was when it was ruled over by the Romanov dynasty. This powerful ruling family came to power shortly after the frightening rule of a legendary figure in Russian history: Ivan the Terrible. After murdering his own son and unborn grandson, Ivan died without an heir, resulting in the formation of a new dynasty. This was the Romanov family.

La Revolución rusa es uno de los acontecimientos más importantes del S. XX en Europa porque supone la creación del primer gobierno socialista en el mundo y antecede a la creación de la URSS y al cruel gobierno de Stalin, dos hechos sin los cuales no se puede dar cuenta de la historia mundial del S. XX. Breve historia de la Revolución rusa nos presenta este conflicto de un modo claro que no renuncia, sin embargo, a explicar detalladamente no sólo los procesos que llevaron a la creación de la URSS sino las distintas ambiciones de los agentes implicados en tales procesos.

If you want to discover the captivating life of Nicholas II, then pay attention...Tsar Nicholas II is a complicated and controversial figure in Russian history. His rule came on the heels of his autocratic father’s death, and his succession to the throne led to a revolving door of conflicts, from a brutal and bloody coronation to the eventual collapse of the Romanov family as a whole through the efforts of the Russian Revolution. As Nicholas II was such a crucial figure in shaping Russia, he deserves further inspection into his story.

Источники быстрого и незаконного обогащения существовали в России еще с дописьменных времен. Воров, разбойников, казнокрадов и душегубов здесь водилось такое множество, что управы на них не было никакой.

"Ничто столько не уподобляет нас Богу, как благотворительность", - эти слова Иоанна Златоуста могут служить наилучшим эпиграфом к истории России, в христианской традиции которой всегда присутствовали человеколюбие и альтруизм.

A history of the Tatar peoples covers a huge expanse of territory, time, and the rise and fall of many Tatar communities. As such, they played a role in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East over several centuries, and from Genghis Khan to Ivan the Terrible and Josef Stalin, some of history’s most infamous tyrants have played a key role in this story. Crucially, the history of the Tatars is one that seems to take place at the fringes of the great empires.

Though history is usually written by the victors, the lack of a particularly strong writing tradition from the Mongols ensured that history was largely written by those who they vanquished. Because of this, their portrayal in the West has been extraordinarily negative for centuries, at least until recent revisions to the historical record. The Mongols have long been depicted as wild horse-archers galloping out of the dawn to rape, pillage, murder and enslave, but the Mongol army was a highly sophisticated, minutely organized and incredibly adaptive and innovative institution.

For over three centuries the Romanovs ruled over the world’s largest country. Throughout this time Imperial Russia faced many challenges, but none greater than those that brought about its demise in 1917: World war, the rise of the urban proletariat, and the birth of an heir afflicted with haemophilia. Even a forceful and inspiring leader would have struggled to turn back the tide of revolution that plagued this closing act, and Tsar Nicholas II possessed neither of these qualities. But there was another side to Russia’s last tsar that the public never got to see.

Discover the remarkable history of the Crimean War...The Crimean War was one of the bloodiest conflicts of the 19th century, but it is also one of the least remembered. More men died in the Crimean War than in the American Civil War which followed soon after. Yet the Crimean War is important for a number of reasons. Although it did not change the map of Europe and did not directly cause the fall of any of the combatants, it did indirectly shape the second half of the 19th century and the early years of the twentieth century in Europe.

The history of Ukraine is a fascinating story of how cultures, political systems, religions, and power have met, intersected, morphed, and expanded. The region was relatively sparsely populated for much of ancient history, a wilderness of rivers, forests, and steppes, but that does not detract from the rich historical development of the region.

In the mid-1950's were tumultuous for the Soviet Bloc. Several countries saw Stalin’s death and the apparent change of direction, even the softening of policy under Khrushchev, as an opportunity to pursue a reformist path...the uprising with the greatest impact on the bulk of the Cold War took place in Hungary in 1956, when protestors took to the streets to demand freedom from tyranny and a greater say in their own destiny. When the Hungarians rose up against the status quo in October 1956, they were met with a brutal response from Moscow.
