Russia Before Europe (1876)

Russia Before Europe is a historical book written by Alfred Austin and published in 1876. The book explores the history of Russia before its interactions with Europe, focusing on the country's early development and culture. Austin examines the origins of the Slavic people, the early Russian state, and the rise of the Mongol Empire. He also delves into the political, social, and economic structures of Russia during this time, including the role of the Orthodox Church and the development of the Russian language. Throughout the book, Austin emphasizes the uniqueness of Russian history and culture, arguing that it should be studied on its own terms rather than through the lens of European history. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the early history of Russia and its cultural heritage.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
