Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book lifts the lid on the true power behind the Russian throne: Konstantin Pobedonostsev, known to many simply as Mephistopheles. Mephistopheles was the most influential figure in Russian politics for over three decades, spanning the reigns of three Tsars, and holding ultimate power over the Russian Church. Yet, outside of Russia, he remains a shadowy figure. The author draws on hitherto unseen archival material, and interviews with leading historians, to paint a vivid portrait of a man who detested progress, was virulently anti-Semitic, and ruthlessly opposed any ideas of a free press or representative government. His influence was a major factor in the worsening of anti-Semitism in Russia, and his opposition to reform helped push Russia toward revolution. This book reveals the machinations of a man who was both a product and progenitor of his time, and whose iron fisted rule saw the persecution of students, thinkers, and anyone who dared to challenge autocratic rule in Russia. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333439149_0
