Présentation de l'éditeur
In the last volume we stopped at the fourth period of Russian history - the last period, and the only one accessible to study throughout the whole of its length. By the fourth period I mean the epoch extending from the beginning of the seventeenth century to the beginning of the reign of the Emperor Alexander II. (to be precise, from the year 1613 to the year 1855). As its actual starting point we may take the year of the accession of the first Tsar of the new dynasty, while the Period of Troubles figures merely as a transitional interval between two adjoining epochs with the former of which it was connected by its causes, and with the latter by its effects.
The fourth period has for us a special interest, in that it is not merely an historical space of time, but a whole chain of epochs through which there runs a series of important factors constituting the secret basis of our life of to-day - a basis which, though variable, never changes. I repeat that the fourth period is more than one of the epochs of our history: it is the whole of our modern history. In the ideas and relations formed during those two centuries and a half we can detect the first germs of ideas which coincide with our own; we can observe, in due order, the institutions which constituted the first social impressions of the men of my own generation.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a transformative era in Russian history, spanning from the early 17th century to the mid-19th century. The author meticulously examines the intricate interplay of factors that shaped this period, including the rise of a new dynasty, the expansion of the empire's territory, and the evolution of social structures and class dynamics. Set against the backdrop of Russia's complex relationship with Western Europe and its ongoing struggle for territorial integrity, the narrative explores the tensions between the state's growing power and the limitations placed upon individual freedoms. The author delves into the concept of "historical antinomies," where seemingly contradictory trends, such as increasing national strength coinciding with diminishing internal freedoms, are analyzed within the context of Russia's unique historical circumstances. This book offers profound insights into the intellectual and political currents that shaped Russia's trajectory during this pivotal period. The author's analysis of the evolving political consciousness of Russian statesmen, the impact of Western influence, and the complex relationship between the ruling class and the masses sheds light on the enduring challenges and triumphs that have defined Russia's identity. By understanding the historical forces at play during this crucial era, readers gain a deeper appreciation for the complexities of Russia's past and its ongoing quest for modernity.
