History of RussiaRussian history begins with the Finno-Ugric and Eastern Slavs communities from seventh century. The Russian ancestors- Eastern Slavs occupied some of the territories and ruled over there till 13th century. They developed Russia as the ancient Keivan Rus and founded Moscow city- as one of the small cities during their regime. The territory of Keivan Rus went to the hands of Mongol Yoke which was the first attack in the history of Russia.

The expansion and development of Russia was carried out during the period of 16th century. Most of the territories were extended between 16th to 18th centuries and armed forces were established at the same time. Ancient Rus faced continuous wars and lost many people during the expansion period. The 19th century led Russia into horrible wars and revolutions of its

history which destroyed many things under the name of power and constructions.

 

The Russian Revolution was carried out in 1917 with the purpose of economic reform, ending the existing war and restoration of democracy in the country. As a result, a coalition government between liberal and moderate socialists was formed but due to the weak policies, the power was captured by the Communist Bolsheviks.
