Reseña del editor
This study analyzes the evolution of the Russian state from the 9th century to the 1880s, and its unique role in managing Russian society. The development of Russia was different from that of the rest of Europe. The natural poverty of geographical conditions made it extremely difficult to construct an effective regime, and a "patrimonial" state arose in which the country was conceived as the personal property of the tsar. The book describes the evolution of this regime, and analyzes the political behaviour of the principal social groupings, peasantry, nobility, bourgeoisie and clergy, and accounts for their failure to stand up to the increasing absolutism of the tsar. Only the intelligentsia were able to make such a stand, and the book shows how in countering this challenge, Russia developed into a bureaucratic police state.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'For anyone who wants an insight into the nature of Russian society before the revolution, there is no doubt that Professor Pipes has written the book.'-Lionel Kochan, Jewish Chronicle This highly acclaimed study from Richard Pipes analyzes the evolution of the Russian state from the ninth century to the 1880s and its unique role in managing Russian society. The harsh geographical conditions and sheer size of the country prevented the creation of participatory government, and a 'patrimonial' state emerged in which Russia was transformed into a gigantic royal domain. Richard Pipes traces these developments and goes on to analyze the political behavior of the principal social groupings-peasantry, nobility, middle-class, and clergy-and their failure to stand up to the increasing absolutism of the tsar. In order to strengthen his powers, legal and institutional bases were set up that led to the creation of a bureaucratic police state under the Communists. 'A brilliant and provocative analysis . . . learned, judicious, witty and full of common sense.'-John Keep, The Times Literary Supplement 'A lively, profound, often extremely subtle account of the making of the Russian state . . . For the serious student it is required reading which is also a delight. For the general reader with a minimal knowledge of Russian history and puzzled as to what makes the Russians tick, it lights up the whole field.'-Edward Crankshaw, The Observer 'An excellent introduction, painstaking and enjoyable.'-The New York Review of Books 'Pipes has produced a masterly interpretative history of tsarist Russa.'-Choice.
