Between Europe and Asia. Seventeenth century
The movement of history is uneven. Memorable events for posterity - usually some epochal changes or upheavals - alternate with periods about which in the ancient chronicles it is briefly reported "nothing happened" (that is, everything was fine and there is nothing to talk about especially). The Russian seventeenth century, to which this volume is devoted, is difficult to describe in this sense. In a relatively short period of history, there are both "fatal minutes" that require detailed study, and whole decades of unhurried development, when it is more interesting to talk not about events, but about phenomena and trends.
