Abstract

This review aims to introduce a newly published volume in Russian historical research. The monograph by Endre Sashalmi, entitled Russian Notions of Power and State in a European Perspective, 1462–1725 – Assessing the Significance of Peter’s Reign, was published only a year ago and has already earned the recognition of scholars of Russian studies both in Hungary and abroad. The book sheds new light on the development of early modern Russian political thought, its specific characteristics and its significance in the European context. Drawing on a diverse source base and a wide range of theoretical knowledge, the author’s conceptual approach rethinks the framework for interpreting the early modern forms of Russian state and power.
