This is a controversial study of Russian economic history before the reforms of Peter the Great. Professor Bushkovitch describes the trade of the Moscow merchants with Western Europe (principally England and Holland). Eastern Europe and the Near East, as well as their activities in industry and in government service. Using evidence from Moscow archives, he challenges the conventional view that Russia's economic development lagged in this period because of the government's absolute control over and debiliatation of the merchant class. He concludes instead that this was an era of great prosperity and economic expansion for Russia, largely as a result of financial decisions made by a stable, prosperous and essentially autonomous merchant class. The book will be of interest to historians of this period, to students of Russia before Peter the Great and to economic historians generally.

A narrative of the fifty years of political struggles at the Russian court, 1671-1725. This book shows how Peter the Great was not the all-powerful tsar working alone to reform Russia, but that he colluded with powerful and contentious aristocrats in order to achieve his goals. After the early victory of Peter's boyar supporters in the 1690s, Peter turned against them and tried to rule through favourites - an experiment which ended in the establishment of a decentralized 'aristocratic' administration, followed by an equally aristocratic Senate in 1711. The aristocrats' hegemony came to an end in the wake of the affair of Peter's son, Tsarevich Aleksei, in 1718. After that moment Peter ruled through a complex group of favourites, a few aristocrats and appointees promoted through merit, and carried out his most long-lasting reforms. The outcome was a new balance of power at the centre and a new, European, conception of politics.
