The following year he joined the staff of the [[Moscow University]], where he rose to the position of dean's ~~position~~and then rector (1871–77). He also administrated the [[Kremlin Armoury]] and acted as tutor to the future [[Alexander III of Russia]]. Solovyov's magnum opus was the ''History of Russia from the Earliest Times'', totally unprecedented in its scope and depth. From 1851 until his death, he published 29 volumes of this work. Among his other books, the ''History of Poland's Downfall'' (1863) and the ''Public Readings on Peter the Great'' (1872) were probably the most popular. Line 14: In the words of the 2004 [[Encyclopædia Britannica]], his ''History'' "wove a vast body of data into a unified and orderly whole that provided an exceptionally powerful and vivid picture of Russia's political development over the centuries. The work inaugurated a new era in Russian scholarship with its depiction of Russia as evolving through organic and rational processes from a primitive, family-based society into a centralized, autocratic state". His book ''History of Russia from the Earliest Times'' is mentioned in [[Fyodor Dostoevsky]] famous novel [[The Idiot]].<ref>Kostalevsky, Marina. (1992).
