Extract

In recent years serious scholarly monographs and monographic articles on the history of Muscovite Russia from the fourteenth through the sixteenth century have been appearing in the Soviet Union with increasing regularity. They all suffer from a heaviness of style and from a degree of tendentiousness arising from ideological premises and nationalism. Nonetheless, they offer substantial additions to our knowledge and understanding.

The Formation of the Russian Centralized State in the Fourteenth to Fifteenth Centuries by L. V. Cherepnin is a treatment based substantially on his well-known careful analysis of documentary materials, Russian Feudal Documents of the Fourteenth to Fifteenth Centuries. Cherepnin's recent monograph is divided into six enormous chapters, the first of which is a very useful discussion of the historiography of the question.
