Description

Explore a revisionist history of Russian power transitions in this scholarly work from Cambridge University Press. Paul Bushkovitch examines the period from the fifteenth-century Moscow princes to the reign of Peter the Great, challenging long-held beliefs about how leaders took power. This book argues that legal primogeniture was not a formal law in early modern Russia. Instead, the monarch designated heirs through custom, often choosing the eldest son only by tradition rather than strict legal mandate. By analyzing the relationship between the monarch, the ruling elite, and the population, Bushkovitch demonstrates the various paths to the throne, including designation and occasional elections. This study provides a new perspective on how succession shaped the development of the Russian state.
