Two men loom large in the waning days of the Russian empire: Lenin and Nicholas II--the former by force of his personality and ideas, the latter by virtue of his inherited dominion over one-sixth of the earth. Yet, although the victor has commanded scholarly attention commensurate with his historical importance, the loser has not. Nicholas was the linchpin of the autocratic system, but his key role has been largely ignored except for some dismissive or hagiographic treatments. Andrew Verner redresses this neglect by providing both a fascinating psychological biography of the ruler and a probing analysis of his part in the revolutionary crisis of 1905. The drama of 1905, described by Lenin as the dress rehearsal for 1917, compelled Nicholas to make unprecedented concessions: a national legislature and political liberties that, as one historical school would have it, opened the door for constitutional democracy in Russia. Drawing extensively on unpublished documents and diaries found in the Romanov family and government archives in the USSR, this provocative work traces the formation of Nicholas's character amidst the conflicting theories and practices of autocracy. Verner demonstrates how autocratic ideology and structure interacted with the tsar's personality as he responded, or failed to respond, to the revolutionary storm, forever dooming Russia's constitutional promise.

This is the first full account of the development of rural self-government in Russia from the emancipation of the serfs to its bureaucratisation in the counter-reforms of 1889-90. Professor Pearson challenges the conventional view of the counter-reforms as a concession to gentry class interests and a reaction against 'zemstvo' political activity.

“When Gessen speaks about autocracy, you listen.” —The New York Times “A reckoning with what has been lost in the past few years and a map forward with our beliefs intact.” —Interview As seen on MSNBC’s Morning Joe and heard on NPR’s All Things Considered: the bestselling, National Book Award–winning journalist offers an essential guide to understanding, resisting, and recovering from the ravages of our tumultuous times. This incisive book provides an essential guide to understanding and recovering from the calamitous corrosion of American democracy over the past few years. Thanks to the special perspective that is the legacy of a Soviet childhood and two decades covering the resurgence of totalitarianism in Russia, Masha Gessen has a sixth sense for the manifestations of autocracy—and the unique cross-cultural fluency to delineate their emergence to Americans. Gessen not only anatomizes the corrosion of the institutions and cultural norms we hoped would save us but also tells us the story of how a short few years changed us from a people who saw ourselves as a nation of immigrants to a populace haggling over a border wall, heirs to a degraded sense of truth, meaning, and possibility. Surviving Autocracy is an inventory of ravages and a call to account but also a beacon to recovery—and to the hope of what comes next.
