Excerpt from Self-Government in Russia We started by taking notice of certain analogies between the situation of Russia and that of Great Britain. Let us now take into account the funda mental difference between the two countries. Whereas the horizon of Great Britain opens freely in all directions, the Russian people have been, as it were, slowly revolving from East to West in order to reach an outlook free from obstruction.

The turbulent period of renewal and innovation that followed Russia's crushing defeat in the Crimea has been interpreted, historically, in terms of the emancipation of the serfs and the evolution of the gentry class. But, contends Frederick Starr, such an approach underestimates the breadth and intensity of the impulse for local reforms per se. After tracing the ideological sources of the reform, Mr. Starr examines in detail the legislative process by which administrative decentralization and public self-government were instituted. Originally published in 1972.

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.

Excerpt from Self-Government in Russia England and Russia seem at first glance to stand at the opposite poles of European civilisation: the classical country of constitutionalism, the centre of industry, the great mart of sea intercourse on one side, and the Holy Russia of Tsardom, the home of agricultural peasantry, the vast background of Continental Europe on the other. And yet, for the unprejudiced observer the two countries possess many common traits: we may notice at the outset that the British are not only insular but cosmopolitan, and so are the Russians. The insularity of the Briton is not only the conscious reflex of a geographical situation, but the necessary outcome of a civilisation moulded within the compass of three seas.

The essays in this 1982 volume result from a conference held at Stanford University in 1978, assembled to assess the overall character and significance of the prerevolutionary Russian experiment with the principle and practice of local self-government, the zemstvo, over half of its existence, 1864-1918. The unifying theme of the collection is the rejection of the liberal myth of the zemstvo as an instrument of social integration. The chapters focus on the substantive elements of conflict and tension that existed within the zemstvos, especially between the institutions' two principal groups: the landed gentry, who dominated the zemstvo, and the peasants, who constituted the majority of the population and were intended to the beneficiaries of most of the economic and cultural programs, yet had little part in their formation. Based on the contributors' extensive knowledge of their respective subjects, many of them provide information from previously unpublished materials in Soviet and American archives.

This book examines the impact of Russia's local self-governing institutions on nationalist movement mobilization in Russia. It is the first study identifying municipalities as central to explaining aspects of ethnic or broader social activism in post-Soviet Russia. Because the book is comparative in scope, it also contributes to debates on movement dynamics and nationalist mobilization in other national and institutional settings.
