Hardcover Book in Near Fine Condition with a Very Good Dust Jacket. Clean and unmarked red cloth binding gilt lettered on spine. Trace wear to extremities tight & solid sewn binding. Clean bright red jacket. unclipped. Quarter inch closed tear to rear edge of spine head. A. Yanov provides a provocative and highly original study of the role of Tsar Ivan IV-known as Ivan the Terrible-in Russia's past and his power over Russia's present and future. He explores the bloody revolution of 1565 that led to a reign of terror when Ivan brushed aside Russia's European heritage and fundamentally altered its future. Russian history since then may be seen as a cycle of attempts to break out of the autocratic mold followed by violent restorations of the ancient regime headed in turn by Peter I Paul I Nicholas I Alexander III and finally by Lenin and Stalin. His special theme is the interplay of power and ideas. He traces the history of what he calls Ivaniana-the crucial debate over Ivan the Terrible through 15 generations of Russian historians. 339 pages with bibliography and index. 6.25 x 9.25 inches. 1981 University of California Press Berkeley CA USA University of California Press hardcover‎
