Can anybody recommend any good books on Russian history in English? (or in Russian for when I get to that level.)
I’m wary of what’s commonly available because it’s either written by Jews, or women.
Specifically more about Holy Russia or Imperial Russia
(Apologies if this is the wrong thread)

This is a classic, written by the former US Librarian of Congress. It's from the pre-woketard era.
Meanwhile, in the West, we have thugs attacking people and defecating in our metros.
This one almost left me speechless.
This may be of interest - sadly, I have yet to read my copy, as my ability to concentrate with a book was destroyed by The Madness, along with several other aspects of my psyche.

The life of German settlements on the Siberian steppes
Descendants of German settlers in Russia manage to this day to retain the culture and customs of their forebears in the Altay and Omsk steppes.
I've heard of the Volga Germans, many of whom emigrated to the US and Canada. My boss is descended from immigrants like this. However from the article, these Germans went much farther east.Some Germans set up "colonies" in Russia a few hundred years ago. I learned about it a long time ago when I met some of their descendants in Germany who had used their ancestry to move back again.The life of German settlements on the Siberian steppes

It's interesting to see how they have held onto the German culture, with folk costumes and everything.
Just learned something else about it : 1918 - 1941 it was an autonomous region called Volga German Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic
There were about 380 000 Germans living in there in 1926.
When Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941 the Soviets abolished it and sent the Volga Germans to camps in Siberia and elsewhere.
