Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The revolutionary movements in late tsarist Russia inspired a
reaction by groups on the right. Although these groups were
ostensibly defending the status quo, they were in fact, as this
book argues, very radical in many ways. This book discusses these
radical rightist groups, showing how they developed considerable
popular appeal across the whole Russian Empire, securing support
from a wide cross-section of society. The book considers the nature
and organisation of the groups, their ideologies and polices on
particular issues and how they changed over time. The book
concludes by examining how and why the groups lost momentum and
support in the years immediately before the First World War, and
briefly explores how far present day rightist groups in Russia are
connected to this earlier movement.

Reading Russian Sources is an accessible and comprehensive guide
that introduces students to the wide range of sources that can be
used to engage with Russian history from the early medieval to the
late Soviet periods. Divided into two parts, the book begins by
considering approaches that can be taken towards the study of
Russian history using primary sources. It then moves on to assess
both textual and visual sources, including memoirs,
autobiographies, journals, newspapers, art, maps, film and TV,
enabling the reader to engage with and make sense of the burgeoning
number of different sources and the ways they are used.
Contributors illuminate key issues in the study of different areas
of Russia's history through their analysis of source materials,
exploring some of the major issues in using different source types
and reflecting recent discoveries that are changing the field. In
so doing, the book orientates students within the broader
methodological and conceptual debates that are defining the field
and shaping the way Russian history is studied. Chronologically
wide-ranging and supported by further reading, along with
suggestions to help students guide their own enquiries, Reading
Russian Sources is the ideal resource for any student undertaking
research on Russian history.
