Ebook: Romantics, Reformers, Reactionaries: Russian Conservative Thought and Politics in the Reign of Alexander I

He traces the indigenous and foreign roots of conservative ideology through a wide range of sources and shows how Russian conservatism, uniquely double-edged, was part of the movement for change.
