This monumental four-volume set, published between 1983 and 1987 by "Nauka," represents the definitive peak of Soviet American studies (Amerikanistika). Produced by the Institute of General History of the USSR Academy of Sciences under the leadership of Academician Nikolai Bolkhovitinov, this work is the most comprehensive and detailed academic history of the United States ever published in the Russian language.
The series provides an exhaustive chronological analysis of the American experience. Volume 1 covers the colonial era, the War of Independence, and the Civil War; Volume 2 traces the rise of industrial capitalism and the transition to imperialism leading up to World War I; Volume 3 examines the interwar years, the Great Depression, and the "New Deal" through the lens of World War II; and Volume 4 explores the complex socio-political landscape of the Cold War era up to 1980.
While written from a Marxist-Leninist historiographical perspective, the work is noted for its immense scholarly depth, utilizing a vast array of primary sources, archival documents, and statistical data. It goes beyond political history to provide deep dives into the labor movement, the development of American science and technology, and the evolution of American literature and art. This set remains a crucial resource for understanding how the United States was perceived by the Soviet academic elite and is a significant artifact of 20th-century historiography.
