This unique dichotomy weaves a nuanced, historical account of a changing Europe, continuously marred by...

Nobility and Privilege in Late Imperial Russia
ISBN: 9780875805399 / Angielski / Miękka / 273 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The transformation of the Russian nobility between 1861 and 1914 has often been attributed to the anachronistic attitudes of its members and their failure to adapt to social change. Becker challenges this idea of the decline of the nobility. He argues that the privileged estate responded positively to change and greatly influenced their nation's political and economic destiny.
