Produktbeschreibung
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. Europe-Asia Studies The book convincingly argues that the Russian right was qualitatively different from traditional conservatism, and that it shared commonalities with other rightist groups in fin-de-siècle Europe...The book is an important contribution to the history of the Russian right, a topic that has great relevance to post-Soviet Russian society. The incorporation of new archival materials, mainly police reports, into the research helps to clarify the intricate relationship between the radical right and autocracy.
