The final decade of the old order in imperial Russia was a time of
both crisis and possibility, an uncertain time that inspired an
often desperate search for meaning. This book explores how
journalists and other writers in St. Petersburg described and
interpreted the troubled years between the Russian revolutions of
1905 and 1917. Mark Steinberg, distinguished historian of Russia in
the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, examines the
work of writers of all kinds, from anonymous journalists to
well-known public intellectuals, from secular liberals to religious
conservatives. Though diverse in their perspectives, these urban
writers were remarkably consistent in the worries they expressed.
They grappled with the impact of technological and material
progress on the one hand, and with an ever-deepening anxiety and
pessimism on the other. Steinberg reveals a new, darker perspective
on the history of St. Petersburg on the eve of revolution and
presents a fresh view of Russia's experience of modernity.
