Russian History is an area of academic study that has consistently been a popular subject among many academics and researchers. From the declaration of Peter the Great as emperor, signifying its birth, to the abdication of Nicholas II in 1917, marking its end, the Russian Empire's development to become a formidable imperial power - the third largest in history - has had a significant impact on world history; its intersections with British history has culminated in an abundance of records covering Anglo-Russian relations and key events. The records at The National Archives paint an in-depth picture of the Russian Empire's military, political and cultural developments over two centuries, from the perspective of the British government. The selected files cover a wide variety of subject areas related to the Russian Empire, including discussions on treaty terms, territorial disputes, map drafts and proposals, as well as telegrams on more routine matters such as imports, exports, taxation, and marriages. If this opportunity is of interest to you, please register your expression of interest by emailing us at by 12:00 on September 30th, 2024.
