"The ultimate failure of liberalism in Russia," the authors write in conclusion, "showed that the schism between Russia's unacculturated peasant masses and educated society had not yet been overcome" (p. 233). Pessimists long have agreed. What is new in this fine work of scholarship is the suggestion that it was the liberal belief in civil society that helped accelerate its demise., Prince L'vov has long deserved more attention than he has gotten from historians. Thomas Earl Porter and Lawrence W. Lerner not only demonstrate his importance to Russian politics but also use his career to trace the tortured path of liberalism in the last years of Romanov rule. Their treatment of the moderate liberals who coalesced in the 'Progressist' faction after 1905 is equally interesting., Thomas Earl Porter is the leading western historian of zemstvo liberalism and it is very useful to have his major writings bought together in this volume. They have been modified in order to create a continuous and partially updated narrative of the topic from 1861 to 1917. This has been achieved in part through incorporation of work in the same area by Laurence Lerner. The main theme of the book is the link between 'small deeds' zemstvo (i.e. local government) activity and the extent of an independent civil society in Russia, for which zemstvo activists are seen as a barometer. The political activities of Russia's first post-tsarist Prime minister, Prince George E. L'vov, also acts as unifying thread in what many scholars will find is a useful and insightful account of the topic., Thomas Earl Porter has written an important study that deepens our understanding of the politics of Russian liberalism and of local self-government as exemplified in the career of zemstvo activist George E. L'vov., Thomas Earl Porter is the leading western historian of zemstvo liberalism and it is very useful to have his major writings brought together in this volume.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
