Abstract

This is a review of a book considering the problems of foreign political and economic expansion of the Moscow State in late 17th century. The main idea of the book under review about the fact that the Moscow State had by the time of Peter the Great’s reforms become a European one is substantiated by Jarmo T. Kotilaine by means of two points: 1. Dynamic economic development within the context of international connections and 2. The integration of the Moscow State into the European economic system. A comprehensive bibliographic survey deepens the research of the development of trade routes and the level of Russia’s international economic integration.
