3,688 words (approx. 14.8 pages) | 23 sources | APA | 2003 Australia


Paper Summary:

This essay examines four main elements of Russian modernization before World War I: The emancipation of the serfs; industrialization; the "Great Reforms" of the 1860s; and the aftermath of the 1905 Revolution. It shows that despite any superficial evidence of reform, Tsarist attempts to modernize Russia before 1914 were ultimately unsuccessful.

From the Paper:

"Tsarist attempts to modernize Russia before World War one were superficial and ultimately unsuccessful. The repressive nature of Tsarism prevented any significant development of the agricultural sector or industrial system, while the reforms of the 1860s and concessions made after the 1905 revolution also proved ineffectual under the autocratic regime. Although some shallow economic and political gains were made, the attempts at modernization only further antagonized Russia's fragile social system."
