Description:

Why have Russians chosen unlimited autocracy since the Middle Ages? Why is democracy unable to flourish in Russia? This work is an analysis of Russia's immemorial commitment to the theory and practice of autocracy. It demonstrates why the belief in autocracy remains the most formative and powerful idea in Russia's political history.

Synopsis:

"Russian Conservatism and Its Critics" provides the first account of Russia s immemorial commitment to the theory and practice of autocracy, the most formative and powerful idea in Russia s political history. Richard Pipes considers why Russian thinkers, statesmen, and publicists have historically always argued that Russia could prosper only under an autocratic regime.
