Sinopse

Rus Origins explores the fascinating genesis of Russia, focusing on the evolution from disparate Eastern Slavic and Viking tribes to the powerful Kievan Rus. The book investigates the complex interplay of cultures and influences that shaped this formative period, offering insights into early Russian history and its broader impact on Slavic civilization and medieval Europe. It examines the pre-state societies of the Eastern Slavs, Norse (Varangian) influence, and the cultural and political transformations that defined Kievan Rus.One intriguing aspect covered is the "route from the Varangians to the Greeks," a vital trade route that facilitated cultural and economic exchange. The book also delves into the adoption of Orthodox Christianity and the development of the legal code, "Russkaya Pravda," highlighting key achievements of Kievan Rus.Addressing the "Normanist controversy," the book offers a balanced perspective on the extent of Viking influence, emphasizing cultural exchange and political negotiation rather than simple domination. The book adopts a comprehensive approach, integrating archaeological findings, Byzantine sources, and early Slavic chronicles. It progresses by first examining pre-state societies, then the arrival and role of the Varangians, and finally, the cultural and political achievements of Kievan Rus. This makes Rus Origins a valuable resource for students, history enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to understand the roots of Russian civilization.

    The intriguing, in-depth story of the most powerful woman in Canadian politics. *A NATIONAL BESTSELLER* 
     
     
     
    Catherine Tsalikis traces Chrystia Freeland's remarkable journey from the northwestern Alberta town of Peace River to Moscow, London, and New York, where she spent two decades as a journalist, to the halls of Parliament Hill as deputy prime minister and finance minister in Justin Trudeau's Liberal government. Ambitious and talented with a work ethic to match, Freeland has had an impressive run since she entered politics in 2013: spearheading major trade negotiations, expertly navigating relations with an erratic US president, speaking out about human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia, and standing up to Vladimir Putin's aggressions in Ukraine. 
     
     
     
    With her impeccable research, seasoned perspective, and accessible style, Tsalikis brings Freeland's story to life. The defining moments and experiences that shaped Freeland's particular worldview illuminate the answers to larger social questions: how to live a good, useful life; how to hold fast to guiding principles; how to break through glass ceilings. This is a unique behind-the-curtains look at Canadian politics through the story of a trailblazing woman.
