This book, first published in 1998, is an original and
comprehensive study of a key period of Russian history, between the
success of the autocracy in retaining power in the 1905 Revolution
and the debacle of the Tsar's crushing defeat in 1917. Focusing on
Stolypin, Prime Minister between 1906-11, the study explores
tsarism's final attempt to reform Russia. Stolypin seized the
opportunity to drive through a programme which would have
transformed the social and political structure of Imperial Russia
by promoting the development of an independent peasantry and
reducing the authority of the traditional elites. The book analyses
the weakness of the new parliamentary system and the continuing
influence of the traditional elites.
