This is a study of civil rights in Russia before the Revolution of 1917. It challenges the conventional view, held by both Western and Soviet historians, that concepts of civil rights and the relationship of the individual to the state fell on barren soil in Imperial Russia. Concern for legal guarantees of personal freedom has been a recurrent theme in Russian political discourse and in Russian and Soviet legal theory. This collection of essays reveals the complexity of the issues surrounding civil rights before 1917. New perspectives are offered on familiar problems such as freedom of speech and association, personal inviolability and equality before the law. The text demonstrates the immediate relevance of the concept of civil rights to the study of Russian history and of the Soviet Union today.
