Beschreibung:
Wayne Dowler is an intellectual and cultural historian of Imperial Russia and is professor in the Department of Humanities at the University of Toronto, Scarborough. He is the author of Classroom and Empire and Dostoevsky, Grigor'Ev and Native Soil Conservatism.
A pivotal year in the history of the Russian Empire, 1913 marks the tercentennial celebration of the Romanov Dynasty, the infamous anti-Semitic Beilis Trial, Russia's first celebration of International Women's Day, the ministerial boycott of the Duma, and the amnestying of numerous prisoners and political exiles, along with many other important events. A vibrant public sphere existed in Russia's last full year of peace prior to war and revolution. During this time a host of voluntary associations, a lively and relatively free press, the rise of progressive municipal governments, the growth of legal consciousness, the advance of market relations and new concepts of property tenure in the countryside, and the spread of literacy were tranforming Russian society.
