This books is concerned with the emancipation of the Russian serfs
in 1861, the most important event in Russian history between the
reign of Peter the Great (1682 1725) and the Revolution of 1905. It
is a social history of the emancipation. The attitudes of the
landowning gentry toward emancipation: their part in its
preparation and their conflict with the government over the terms
of emancipation and related reforms, are the major subjects
treated. The book shows in what circumstances the emancipation took
place, and how the gentry were involved in the process. The
undertaking of emancipation produced a political and social crisis
which involved a serious threat to the autocratic regime, laid the
foundations for the rise of constitutional liberalism in Russia,
but destroyed the foundations of the gentry class.
