A landmark contribution to the scholarly study of Russia and the Soviet Union, this collection of essays was assembled in tribute to Geroid Tanquary Robinson — one of the pioneering American historians of Russian agrarian society and Soviet affairs. Edited by John Shelton Curtiss, the volume brings together distinguished historians who examine pivotal moments, figures, and forces that shaped the Russian Empire and the Soviet state, from the tsarist era through the turbulent transformations of the twentieth century. The essays collectively illuminate the political, social, and economic tensions that defined Russian and Soviet history, reflecting the rigorous analytical tradition that Robinson himself helped to establish at Columbia University. Written with scholarly precision yet accessible intellectual energy, each contribution stands as both an independent study and part of a coherent historiographical conversation. For students and scholars of Russian history alike, this volume remains an indispensable testament to the depth and vitality of the field — and a fitting honour to the man who helped shape it.
