On the Corruption of Morals in Russia, is the most celebrated work
of the Russian historian, philosopher and publicist Prince M. M.
Shcherbatov (1733-90). Written towards the close of the reign of
Catherine the Great, it is half memoir, half polemic, comprising a
survey of Russian history in the eighteenth century from the point
of view of a moral censor, and an outspoken attack on the decline
of morals at the Court of St Petersburg, written by an aristocrat
of exceptional erudition and strong conservative views, who was
present at the Court of Catherine II, and knew well the persons and
events which he describes. The work was not published during the
author's lifetime; not surprisingly, since its contents were highly
treasonable. The text, which is collated from the three primary
manuscript copies of the original, is the first to include all
important textual variants.
