Description: Liberal City, Conservative State by Robert William Thurston Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book examines Moscows politics and urban history between the failed 1905 revolution and the outbreak of the First World War. Publisher Description Between 1906 and the outbreak of World War I, Moscow was the locale of great uncertainty and experimentation. Moscows liberal leaders sought social and political stability for their city following the violence of the 1905 revolution by offering attractive programs in education, employment, housing and other areas to Moscows unruly lower classes. They were countered in their efforts, however, by central authorities of the Old Regime, who feared the politicaleffects of these programs and stressed social rigidity. Liberal City, Conservative State examines the resulting clash between the city and the state as it brought to the surface and exacerbated the deeptensions plaguing Russia by the eve of World War I. It focuses on the roots of this dispute, juxtaposing the Old Regimes rural background and orientation with the urban concerns of Moscows liberals, and sees the states essential failure in its inability to come to terms with the realities of urban life and growth. Providing new perspectives and insights into Russian liberalism, the scope and urgency of urban problems, and the importance of tsarist ideology in conditioning development after1905, Moscows story sheds light on the unsolved dilemmas and contradictions that pushed Russia inexorably toward revolution.
