500 ## _$aThis publication is dedicated to the origins of political geography as a scientific discipline and the role of Christian Nikolai von Winsheim (1694–1751), a German scholar in Russian service and professor at the St. Petersburg Imperial Academy of Sciences, in its development. The study convincingly demonstrates that political geography as an independent field of knowledge was first institutionalized in Russia, within the framework of the 18th-century St. Petersburg scientific school.
This publication brings together under a single cover: the world's first book called political geography — Ch.N. Winsheim's "Brief Political Geography" (1745) — and the texts of the first Russian textbooks on this discipline—the works of J.-N. Delisle (1727) and G.W. Kraft (1742). Of particular interest is Winsheim's manuscript "On the Russian Empire" (1739), translated from German and published in Russian for the first time—the first academic description of Russia's geography. His article on the Northern Sea Route and a brief glossary are also included. The publication is equipped with a scholarly reference tool, including a detailed bibliography and commentary. The spelling and punctuation of 18th-century texts have been brought into line with modern standards.
The book is intended for historians of science, geographers, political scientists, specialists in international relations, as well as anyone interested in the history of Russian academic thought, geography, and the development of the humanities.
