Russian populism, the belief that the peasantry embodied authentic
Russian identity and once liberated from their poverty would lead
the country to a brighter future, has animated Russian thought
across the political spectrum and inspired much of Russia's
world-historical literature, music and art in the 19th century.
This book offers the fullest and most authoritative account of the
rise, proliferation and influence of populist values and ideology
in modern Russia to date. Christopher Ely explores the complete
story of Russian populism. Starting from the cursed question of how
to reconnect the popular masses with the Europeanized elite, he
examines the populist obsession with the peasant commune as a model
for a future socialist Russia. He shows how the desire for
revolution led Russian radicals to flood into the countryside and
later to pioneer terrorism as a form of political action. He delves
into those artists influenced by populist ideals, and he tells the
story of the collapse of populist optimism and its rebirth among
the Socialist Revolutionary neo-populists. The book demonstrates
that populism existed in forms ranging from radical socialist to
religious conservative. Blending lively theoretical analysis with a
wealth of primary sources and illustrations, Russian Populism
provides a highly engaging overview of this complex phenomenon; it
is invaluable reading for anyone interested in the momentous final
decades of the Russian Empire.
