First published in 1987. Yu. F. Samarin (1819-1876) was one of the
original SIavophiIs. He was the most important Slavophil statesman,
making a very significant contribution to the formulation, drafting
and implementation of the Emancipation Edict of 1861. He also
served creatively in the whole range of Zemstvo council work at
both the provincial and municipal levels, and made a substantial
impact on policy as a passionate exponent of Russian interests in
Poland and the Baltic provinces. In this study Samarin's
development and performance as a political thinker is examined from
his early days as a master's student at the University of Moscow to
the completion of his work on the peasant land reform in 1864. This
book establishes that Samarin was a competent political theorist,
who is best characterized as an "enlightened conservative". This
title will be of great interest to students of history, politics
and philosophy.
