Storm of Empire: Russia on the Eve of Great Change
About This Novel
The period from 1762 to 1855 was the period when the Russian Empire was at its most prosperous, and it was also the period when Russian thought and culture was most glorious. It was also a period when the advantages and legitimacy of the old system were exhausted, and it was also the eve of great changes in the nation, country, society, family and individuals. There are numerous works on this period in the academic, biographical and literary circles at home and abroad, but most of them are general history or general knowledge, and the research perspectives are relatively old-fashioned. This book adopts the latest theories in contemporary academic circles: Imperialism and Iconology, focusing on this historical turning point, the evolution of the Russian Empire's internal structure, the changes in the rulers' imperial governance concepts, the changes in imperial consciousness and imperial ideology, and the evolution of Russia's national image and national image, in order to answer the many urgent questions and destiny challenges faced by the Russian Empire and society on the eve of the great changes (before the serfdom reform in 1861 and the start of Russia's modernization process). This book uses a large number of newly published Russian documents, supplemented by English and other documents. The book has made major adjustments in its writing style. It attempts to use a fresh and smooth writing style, a writing style that narrates history rather than writing history, and an attitude that explores history rather than dramatizes history. It is hoped that more non-professional readers will like Russian history.
