Présentation de l'éditeur

This book attempts to put theE nglish reader in a position to understand the conditions of life and the problems of government that exist in the Russia of today. Some knowledge of the aspects of the country, the ethnological descent of its inhabitants, and the story of the rise and maintenance of their autocratic form of government, seems necessary as a preliminary to such understanding, and the first three chapters of the volume are devoted to an exposition of these matters; but since Tnodem political life is the subject of the book, they have not been allowed to expand into greater detail than will be helpful to the object in view. The reforms of the early years of Alexander II. have been treated much more fully, for almost all the political questions of the day in Eussia are intimately connected with them and with their subsequent partial abrogation witnessed during the reactionary period of the last quarter of a century.
