Mikhail Lomonosov - Notes on Russian History. A leather-bound gift book.

The book “Notes on Russian History” is a unique collection of historical works by the great Russian polymath Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov. This fundamental set of works laid the solid foundations of professional Russian historical science and became its cornerstone. The central place in the collection is occupied by the study of the Ancient Russian period from the origin of the Slavic tribes to the death of Grand Duke Yaroslav the Wise in 1054. Lomonosov appears here as a profound and impartial researcher, seeking to delve into the true roots of Russian statehood.
In the pages of the book, the author provides a detailed analysis of the complex relationships between Rus’ and its numerous neighbors, relying on a thorough knowledge of ancient chronicles. The scholar pays particular attention to the outstanding role of strong personalities and the state as a driving force in the formation of the vast empire. The collection also includes the thinker’s other notable historical works, among which are “A Description of the Streltsy Uprisings” and the epic poem “Peter the Great.” The text is written in a remarkably lively, folksy, and accessible language, which sets it apart from many other dry academic chronicles of that time. Modern gift editions of the book are often supplemented with archival materials and portraits that emphasize the grandeur of the era. This work proves that Lomonosov’s talent was truly boundless, and his historical views still retain their relevance and educational value.
