Ключевая Информация / Key Content

Volume XI is arguably the most crucial volume for understanding the revolutionary period, covering the development of Industrial (Manufacturing) Capitalism and the subsequent Revolutionary Movement in Russia from the 1850s to the 1905 Revolution.

• Period Focus: The book details the period leading up to the great upheavals, starting with the Reforms of 1861 and the subsequent decades.

• Key Chapters (from Oглавление):

  • Глава тридцать девятая (Chapter 39): The Sixties and Seventies (including the course of the 1861 Reform, Zemstvo and City Reforms, and the spiritual culture/opposition movements from 1856–1880).

  • Глава сороковая (Chapter 40): Russia from the beginning of the Eighties to 1905 (covering Supreme Power, Class Organization, the Reactionary Dictatorship, and the spiritual culture/revolutionary movement).

This is a profoundly important historical primary source for collectors specializing in early Soviet-era history, the Marxist interpretation of the Russian Revolution's origins, and the social and economic history of late Imperial Russia.
