Liberalism is a critically important topic in the contemporary
world as liberal values and institutions are in retreat in
countries where they seemed relatively secure. Lucidly written and
accessible, this book offers an important yet neglected Russian
aspect to the history of political liberalism. Vanessa Rampton
examines Russian engagement with liberal ideas during Russia's long
nineteenth century, focusing on the high point of Russian
liberalism from 1900 to 1914. It was then that a self-consciously
liberal movement took shape, followed by the founding of the
country's first liberal (Constitutional-Democratic or Kadet) party
in 1905. For a brief, revelatory period, some Russians - an
eclectic group of academics, politicians and public figures - drew
on liberal ideas of Western origin to articulate a distinctively
Russian liberal philosophy, shape their country's political
landscape, and were themselves partly responsible for the tragic
experience of 1905.
