4.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reading for the student of Russian History., February 28, 2000
Vernadsky clearly outlines the trends of the first Russian state. Present here is political, social and economic history, presented in a non-biased, non-ideological way. The parts regarding the dizzying array of alliances, broken promises and internecine struggles of the Russian princes may be a little confusing, but they need not be memorized to understand the general development of Kievan Rus'. This book represents a nice foundation for those who want to understand the development of the Russian nation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Essential Introduction to Kievan Rus', December 31, 2008
By J. Beebe (Wisconsin, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a classic in the study of Kievan Rus' and is a must read for anyone interested in the subject. The style can seem a bit stuffy at times, but this is not overbearing and is offset by the wealth of information.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Glimpse into Kievan Rus, May 10, 2008
By Eric S. Kim (Southern California) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This book was published in the 1940's, but was then renewed in 1976. While it is a bit outdated, the information that's found in the book is astonishing. Nearly every apsect of Kievan Rus is here: history, ways of life, systems of status, etc. And while the author Vernadsky does add his own opinions in only a few spots, the book is still very unbiased. So this is an excellent introduction of Medieval Russian history (another is the first half of "Land of the Firebird" by Suzanne Massie.).
