As one of Russia's foremost prerevolutionary historians, Miliukov offers a wealth of information on the failure of this hopeful attempt. (...) He discusses foreign affairs--the Balkan problem, the crisis with Turkey, and the first World War, during part of which he was minister of Foreign Affairs. He relates the attempt to modernize the ponderous, backward systems of rural economy. He recounts the establishment of the Provisional Government in 1917 after the February revolution, his difficulties as a cabinet minister in the government, his forced resignation, the collapse of the liberal government, and the final Bolshevik victory. He also gives vivid portraits of other leading figures during this stormy period--Rasputin and Pobedonostsev, Nicholas II, Kerensky, Witte and Prince Lvov, and Lenin"--publisher 580 Donation of Anatole Shub 651 0 Russia |xPolitics and government |y1894-1917. 700 1 Mendel, Arthur P., |eeditor 880 |6245 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6947_080000000000000_0924_MIL |70 |8GEN |9160789OSA |bOSA |d2022-09-19 |eShub |l0 |o947.08/0924 MIL |r2022-09-19 |w2022-09-19 |yBK |cGeneral Stacks 920 01 Pe8l1jeW 992 01 947_080000000000000_0924_MIL |bQVS_ZRZZZZZZZZZZZZZ_ZQXV_DHE 966 |cIn the Research Room
