The collapse of the imperial regime excited Russian intellectuals
of all political persuasions. Although eager to draw comparisons
between pre-revolutionary Russia and revolutionary France, the
political elite saw the outcome in their own country as vastly
different to the events which had occurred in France. Looking to
the past they tried to predict the future - how their revolution
would end. As the political situation became more unstable, there
was increasing fear of dictatorship and bloodshed. The perception
of Napoleon as a victorious general changed; he was seen instead as
a powerful man who had brought stability to France. Thus came the
search for a Russian Napoleon - first in the form of Alexander
Kerensky, and later General Lavr Kornilov. Neither man was a
successful candidate. Shlapentokh examines one of the most dramatic
periods in European history. Drawing comparisons between
revolutionary Russia and France he provides an insightful and
original analysis of such subjects as counter-revolution, terror
and dictatorship.
