The history of Russia has been a fascinating study beginning in 988 with the advent of Byzantine Empire who ruled over the vast kingdom of Russia for more than seven decades. Later in the 13th century, it was under the rule of Grand Duchy of Moscow, followed by successive regimes till the 19th century. The historic Russian revolution in 1917 and the coming of Bolsheviks followed by the tyrannical rule of Stalin and rise of important political protagonists like Khrushchev and Mussolini changed the very aspect of Russian political arena. The dismantling of Soviet- Russia towards the beginning of 1990's also invariably contributed to its slow political and economic downfall.
