Opis

Over the past two hundred years, encounters between Iran and Russia have been both rich and complex. This book explores the myriad dimensions of the Iranian-Russian encounter during a dramatic period which saw both Iran and Russia subject to revolutionary upheavals and transformed from multinational dynastic empires typical of the 19th century to modernizing, authoritarian states typical of the 20th.

Recenzje

'these authors shine flashes into the corners and cupboards of Irano-Russian history which add to our knowledge but leave us avid for more.' – James Buchan, Asian Affairs, Volume 44, Issue 3, 2013
