A History of Arkhangelsk

Book Details
About this book:

A History of Arkhangelsk From the ancient river routes of the Northern Dvina to the icy drama of the Arctic convoys, *A History of Arkhangelsk* reveals how one northern port became a gateway between Russia and the wider world. Journey through the rise of the Pomors, the arrival of English merchants, the ambitions of Ivan the Terrible and Peter the Great, and the city’s enduring role in trade, timber, shipbuilding, exile, war, and Arctic strategy.

This is history with atmosphere: fog over the White Sea, wooden hulls creaking at the docks, monasteries and marketplaces, revolution and Soviet industry, postwar reconstruction and the modern Arctic future. Accessible, vivid, and richly informed, the book brings to life a city often overlooked but never insignificant.

For readers drawn to Russia, maritime history, frontier life, or the unfolding importance of the Arctic, *A History of Arkhangelsk* offers a sweeping portrait of a place where geography, power, and human resilience have shaped centuries of change.
