Marc Raeff is one of the truly outstanding scholars of Russian history. This volume offers a sampling of the best essays from his prolific, forty-year career; they span the history of Russia from the late seventeenth to the late nineteenth century. In these essays, Raeff considers the problems of imperial Russian politics and administration, analyzes Russias intellectual and social history as it relates to the governance of the multiethnic empire, and places the institutional and intellectual history of Russia in the context of other Western and Central European developments. Raeffs essays offer a sketch of the generation that came of age in the era of the Napoleonic Wars and the ensuing attempts at constitutional reformthe generation that laid the foundations of the modern Russian national consciousness. He explores modernization reform and liberalism in the second half of the nineteenth century, the acquisition and incorporation of Russias multiethnic population, and the politics and administration of the reigns of Peter III and Catherine II. He examines how the Russian lites assimilated values from the Western and Central European Enlightenment and assesses the important intellectual and ideological effects the Enlightenment had on the nation. The volume concludes with a comparative look at the process of Westernization, focusing on issues of literacy, state leadership, and the role of the intelligentsia. Many of these seminal essays are long out of print and hard to find. This timely volume makes Marc Raeffs insights readily available as Russia reemerges as a nation-state facing new challenges that are often deeply rooted in its past.

THROUGHOUT MY SCHOLARLY CAREER I have developed most of my ideas in essays and articles rather than monographs. I have preferred to roam over broad topics of Russian history and relate them to general European problems rather than to work on narrow themes in depth. In addition, during much of the first half of my active professional life, Russian archives and libraries were inaccessible, and later on when foreign researchers were given limited access, personal and practical considerations precluded long stays in the Soviet Union. To compensate for my scant work in the archives, I have stressed comparative aspects involving West European institutional and intellectual developments. I am convinced that it is in the realm of comparative history that Russian historians working abroad can make contributions, thanks to their broader perspective and greater familiarity with other experiences. This was (and still is) very much true of Russian historiography because its native practitioners were unable to travel and work abroad and had but limited acquaintance with Western historiography.
