What reading level is A Short History of Russia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He drew aside thebed-curtains and stared at her fixedly, while she in speechlessindignation glared at him. So, without one word, these two historicpersons met--and parted! He probably felt curious to see what sort ofa woman had enthralled and controlled the policy of Louis XIV. Peterdid not intend to subject his wife to the criticism of the wittyFrenchwomen, so prudently left her at home.
Charles XII. Died in 1718, and in 1721 there was at last peace withSweden. But the saddest war of all, and ...one which was never to cease, was that in Peter's own household. His son Alexis, possibly embitteredby his mother's fate, and certainly by her influence, grew up into asullen, morose, and perverse youth. In vain did his father strive tofit him for his great destiny. By no person in the empire--unless, perhaps, his mother--were Peter's reforms more detested than by the sonand heir to whom he expected to intrust them. He was in closecommunication with his mother Eudoxia, who in her monastery, holdingcourt like a Tsaritsa, was surrounded by intriguing and disaffectednobles--all praying for the death of Peter.
