Weber examines the various social classes which might function as the bearers of democratization in Russia, and comes to pessimistic conclusions. He explicitly addresses the dynamics of class conflict, as well as the conditions and consequences of revolution.
Weber discusses the events of 1905 and February 1917, accurately predicting that 'only a disastrous European war would lead to the final overthrow of the autocracy.' He examines the issue of Russian 'liberalization' and its prospects in a way that, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, has great relevance today.
With its close attention to detail, its acute cameos of the major players in the revolutions and its often prophetic judgment, this book is a tour-de-force of political writing. It will add a significant chapter to our understanding of Weber's life and work.
The Russian Revolutions will be welcomed by students and researchers in politics, sociology, modern history and Russian studies.
