Russia

Imperial Russia was known for many things: its vast span across Europe and Asia, luxury and inequality, art and culture. Caught between the eternal question of Russia's role as part of Europe and the Russian dusha, or soul, the Romanov reign held at the center of its ideology a model of "enlightened absolutism." With orthodoxy, autocracy, and nationality at its core, Russia brought this rule to bear on populations from the Volga basin to eastern Siberia.
