Russia, Political and Social, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book explores the genesis and development of Russia's intelligentsia, a social class that emerged as a civilizing force in a largely autocratic and feudalistic society. The author traces their origins from the time of Peter the Great, and their evolution through the 18th and 19th centuries, during which time they faced constant opposition from the government. The intelligentsia were a diverse group, with many political leanings; yet they were united by a common belief in the importance of education, individual liberty, and the betterment of the common people. The author traces the impact of their ideas across Russian society, from literature to politics. This book provides a valuable insight into the complex dynamics of Russian intellectual and political history.
