"Pravilova has carried out prodigious archival research." -- Simon Dixon, Literary Review"Groundbreaking history of Russia - from empire to the Soviet era - viewed through the lens of its money. Important and timely in the face of recent events." -- Frederick Studemann, Books to Read in 2023, Financial Times"This wonderfully intelligent, knowledgeable, and imaginative book on the ruble and financial policy fills an immense gap in our understanding of government, politics, and society in imperial Russia." -- Dominic Lieven, Trinity College, Cambridge University"The Ruble: A Political History is a magisterial account of the Russian currency as a tool of autocratic control'e"from Catherine the Great to the early Soviet times. Today, when the Russian imperialism is back and when Russian ruble is once again returning to nonconvertibility, Ekaterina Pravilova's book is more timely than ever." -- Sergei Guriev, Sciences Po"Award-winning author Ekaterina Pravilova asks, 'Can money have a story?' As regards the Russian imperial ruble from the eighteenth to the early twentieth century, she shows that most certainly it can'e"and what a story it can tell about a country, an economy, and a society! Her deeply researched and sharply argued book demonstrates how repeated Russian governments deployed currency and financial resources as a tool of domestic rule and geopolitical competition. Yet her work also elucidates unexpected and important currents of both liberal and conservative thought not visible in other accounts. A valuable and important account for historians of Russian imperial history, broader European history, and economic history." -- Peter Holquist, University of Pennsylvania"...original, fascinating and meticulously researched." -- Eamonn Gearon, Wall Street Journal"Ekaterina Pravilova's book displays admirable imagination and originality - as well as obvious, and dire, relevance to Russia's here and now." -- Catriona Kelly, TLS"The Ruble: A Political History is an impressive accomplishment." -- The Russian Review, "Pravilova has carried out prodigious archival research." -- Simon Dixon, Literary Review"Groundbreaking history of Russia - from empire to the Soviet era - viewed through the lens of its money.

A 200-year 'biography of a currency,' the book positions the ruble as both an important part of imperial organization and an unexpected anchor of Soviet influence. The ruble also emerges, amid political and financial crisis, as a potential instrument of Russian democracy-yet its history ultimately demonstrates how a currency can become a primary tool for creating and maintaining an autocracy." -- Carey K.
