Welcome!

We offer the following rubrics (subsections):
Books review and publications: what’s new on the market and whether we should read it.
First, to be able to use the our Forum, please set up a profile, which must contain your real name and a valid e-mail address
Next, consider our rules; but they are simple. Please be inclusive – try to convey your topic in a way equally understandable for both a schoolboy and a college professor. When posting a picture, text or a web-link - always include your source, wherever applicable. Be professional – speak of the topic, critique opponent’s opinion but not the opponent himself. Be patient – because of the time difference, allow some extra time for an answer. You should post in English or – if some of you would like to practice his/her Russian – we will be glad to help your practice!
So, start posting – make yourself at home!

European Armies of the French Revolution, 1789–1802
Ed. Frederick C. Schneid Norman: Univ. of Oklahoma Press, 2015. Pp. vii, 280. ISBN 978–0–8061–4039–1. http://www.miwsr.com/2017-032.aspx "As Janet Hartley (London School of Economics and Political Science) shows in chapter 4, "The Russian Army," the Russians were preoccupied by wars against the Turks and Poles until 1795. They finally joined the fray in 1799 with a large, veteran force led by experienced commanders, one of whom, the venerable Gen. Alexander Suvorov, beat the French in several battles in Northern Italy. Much of this chapter concerns the Russians' methods of recruiting, training, and equipping their army. Hartley shows that the mixture of Russian traditions with western, especially Prussian, ideas and methods enabled the Russians to hold their own against the presumably more modern French."
