What did the Russian revolution of 1917 and the Iranian revolution of 1978-1979 share besides their drama? How can we compare a revolution led by Lenin with one inspired by Khomeini? How is a revolution based primarily on the urban working class similar to one founded to a significant degree on traditional groups like the bazaaris, small craftsmen, and religious students and preachers? Identifying a distinctive route to modernity--autocratic modernization--Tim McDaniel explores the dilemmas inherent in the efforts of autocratic monarchies in Russia and Iran to transform their countries into modern industrial societies. Originally published in 1991. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Two men loom large in the waning days of the Russian empire: Lenin and Nicholas II--the former by force of his personality and ideas, the latter by virtue of his inherited dominion over one-sixth of the earth. Yet, although the victor has commanded scholarly attention commensurate with his historical importance, the loser has not. Nicholas was the linchpin of the autocratic system, but his key role has been largely ignored except for some dismissive or hagiographic treatments. Andrew Verner redresses this neglect by providing both a fascinating psychological biography of the ruler and a probing analysis of his part in the revolutionary crisis of 1905. The drama of 1905, described by Lenin as the dress rehearsal for 1917, compelled Nicholas to make unprecedented concessions: a national legislature and political liberties that, as one historical school would have it, opened the door for constitutional democracy in Russia. Drawing extensively on unpublished documents and diaries found in the Romanov family and government archives in the USSR, this provocative work traces the formation of Nicholas's character amidst the conflicting theories and practices of autocracy. Verner demonstrates how autocratic ideology and structure interacted with the tsar's personality as he responded, or failed to respond, to the revolutionary storm, forever dooming Russia's constitutional promise.

This is a comprehensive interpretive history of Russia from the defeat of Napoleon to the eve of World War I. It is the first such work by a post-Soviet Russian scholar to appear in English. Drawing on the latest Russian and Western historical scholarship, Alexander Polunov examines the decay of the two central institutions of tsarist Russia: serfdom and autocracy. Polunov explains how the major social groups - the gentry, merchants, petty townspeople, peasants, and ethnic minorities - reacted to the Great Reforms, and why, despite the emergence of a civil society and capitalist institutions, a reformist, evolutionary path did not become an alternative to the Revolution of 1917. He provides detailed portraits of many tsarist bureaucrats and political reformers, complete with quotations from their writings, to explain how the principle of autocracy, although significantly weakened by the Great Reforms in mid-century, reasserted itself under the last two emperors. Polunov stresses the relevance, for Russians in the post-Soviet period, of issues that remained unresolved in the pre-Revolutionary period, such as the question of private property in land and the relationship between state regulation and private initiative in the economy.
