The work *History of Russia from the Earliest Times* became the life’s work of S.M. Solovyov. It was published between 1851 and 1879 and comprised 29 volumes, originally collected in 6 books. The final volume was published posthumously, concluding with a description of the Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca between Russia and Turkey, concluded in 1775. The presentation of the material is based on factual data (from the 17th century onwards, predominantly archival). The ‘History’ has been reprinted numerous times.
