The political class of Russia on the eve of the First World War
Herald of the Russian Academy of Sciences. 2022. Vol. 92. No. S11. P. S1000–S1008.
The formation of the political class of Russia on the eve of the First World War is analyzed. Partic-
ular attention is paid to the emperor, his inner circle, representatives of the highest bureaucracy, and deputies
of the State Duma involved in the political decision-making process. The question of the forms of interaction,
everyday practices of cooperation between deputies and officials is considered. However, these forms of coop-
eration coexisted with the ineradicable conflicts characteristic of the lawmaking system of the early 20th cen-
tury. The emperor and his inner circle did not become part of the emerging political class. This was a “fault
line” that provoked crises both before and after 1914

Поскольку древнерусским князьям приходилось постоянно принимать участие в походах и сражениях, идеал правителя должен был, несомненно, отражать представления о них как о воинах. Предполагаемая рядом исследователей первостепенная важность воинского образа
князей, включающего их ратные и полководческие качества, однако, не находит подтверждения среди летописных некрологов (посмертных панегириков). Эти текст конструируют посмертный образ князя, отмечая его важнейшие качества ...

В статье отмечается, что попытка вписать дело Мясоедова в широкий политический и общественный контекст начала XX в. вполне обоснована. Действительно рассматриваемый А.М. Поповым сюжет интересен не столько сам по себе, сколько в связи с политической борьбой, которая развернулась вокруг него. Вместе с тем «мясоедовоцентризм» автора скорее мешает рассмотреть значимые институциональные изменения, которые произошли в России накануне 1917 ...
