Russia and Western Civilization: Cultural and Historical EncountersRussell Bova M.E. Sharpe, 2003年7月3日 This volume introduces readers to an age-old question that has perplexed Russians and Westerners alike. Is Russia the eastern flank of Europe? Or is it really the heartland of another civilization? In exploring this question, the contributing authors present a sweeping survey of cultural, religious, political, and economic developments in Russia, especially over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Planned as a course book for interdisciplinary programs in Western Civilization or Russian Area Studies, the text features highlight boxes, glossaries, study questions, a discography, a guide to on-line art galleries, and annotated reading lists. |
