When this was originally published in 1959 it was the first
full-length biography of Alexander Radishchev published outside
Russia and was based on hitherto unpublished material, memoir
literature and Radishchev's own writings. Radishchev occupies a
notable position in the history of European social thought, as the
first writer to apply the criteria of the Western Age of Reason to
conditions in Tsarist Russia. Sentenced to death on the orders of
Catherine the Great and subsequently exiled in Siberia, Radishchev
stands out as the first great figure of the Russian radical
intelligentsia and the first literary victim of Tsarist official
intolerance.
