A landmark work of historical analysis, The End of the Russian Empire presents a penetrating appraisal of the final collapse of the Romanov dynasty and the disintegration of Imperial Russia. Florinsky, a distinguished Russian-born historian, chronicles the complex political, economic, and social forces that undermined the tsarist regime, tracing the fault lines that ultimately led to revolution. Written with scholarly rigour yet accessible authority, the work illuminates the turbulent transition from imperial autocracy to Soviet rule, shedding startling light on the very beginnings of the USSR. This edition includes a new introduction by the author, further contextualising his arguments in light of later historical understanding. It remains an indispensable text for anyone seeking to understand one of the most consequential transformations in modern history.
