Summary

More than a century ago, Russia saw the burgeoning of a tradition of revolutionary violence that was not to bear fruit until 1917, but that even in those earlier times deeply affected the Russian people. In this book, Adam Ulam offers a history of Russian political and intellectual life in those critical years from 1855 to 1884 and describes the successive conspiracies that shook the edifice of tsarist autocracy.
