East Meets West

The Russia-Ukraine war once more brings into focus the transformations of the former Russian empire: Romanov rule was followed by Bolshevik politics, and after a period of post-communist consolidation, we now see the imperial renaissance under Putin. Ukraine is the victim of the resurgent thrusts of Russian imperialism. This package presents the many faces of the empire from the tsarist era to recent upheavals. In addition to the Russian core, the fifty books also extends into the outer circles of the imperial remit.

Due to rising publication costs, a 5% annual increase has been applied for annual payments.

If you would like to prepay your entire 3 year subscription, please let us know. The 3 year prepayment option benefits from a fixed annual price – there is a single initial 5% rise in January 2024 but beyond that no year-on-year annual price increase is factored in for the term of the membership.
