Books by Peter Waldron

This book, first published in 1998, examines a key period of Russian history, between the success of the autocracy in retaining power in the 1905 Revolution and the Tsar¿s defeat in 1917. Focusing on Stolypin, Prime Minister between 1906¿11, the study explores tsarism¿s final attempt to reform Russia.

This selection of documents - for the most part never before translated into English - traces the process of modernization which took place in Russia between 1856 and 1881.
