This work makes a contribution to this debate. It is a survey of the conditions in 19th-century Russia that created the need for reform, and an analysis of what had been achieved up to 1914. The author writes about the reform movements of Alexander II, Witte and Stolypin, and in doing so sheds new light on the reforms taking place today in the countries of the former Soviet Union.
