The essays in this 1982 volume result from a conference held at
Stanford University in 1978, assembled to assess the overall
character and significance of the prerevolutionary Russian
experiment with the principle and practice of local
self-government, the zemstvo, over half of its existence, 1864
1918. The unifying theme of the collection is the rejection of the
liberal myth of the zemstvo as an instrument of social integration.
The chapters focus on the substantive elements of conflict and
tension that existed within the zemstvos, especially between the
institutions' two principal groups: the landed gentry, who
dominated the zemstvo, and the peasants, who constituted the
majority of the population and were intended to the beneficiaries
of most of the economic and cultural programs, yet had little part
in their formation. Based on the contributors' extensive knowledge
of their respective subjects, many of them provide information from
previously unpublished materials in Soviet and American archives.
