O ovoj e-knjizi

A Year in Russia by Maurice Baring is a vivid, firsthand account of the turbulent political and social landscape of Russia during one of its most transformative years—1905 to 1906. As a British correspondent and keen observer, Baring captures the nation in flux following the Russian Revolution of 1905, offering a unique fusion of journalism, political analysis, and cultural insight. Spanning twenty-four chapters, the book takes readers from the imperial grandeur of St. Petersburg to the revolutionary battlegrounds of Moscow and the rural heartlands of Russia. Baring documents events such as the October Manifesto, the December Uprising in Moscow, the shifting mood of the intelligentsia, and the creation and dissolution of the first Duma. He also provides sharp commentary on key political developments including the peasant revolts, electoral campaigns, and the growing tensions between reformers and autocrats. Interwoven with these political developments are richly textured portraits of daily life, literary celebrations like Dostoevsky’s anniversary, religious festivals such as Easter in Moscow, and detailed reflections on Russian character and thought. Baring’s narrative is not only historically informative but also deeply human, capturing the uncertainty, hope, and despair of a society on the brink of revolution. A Year in Russia stands as an essential document for understanding pre-revolutionary Russia, written with the perceptiveness of a seasoned journalist and the elegance of a literary artist.
