Moscow's liberal leaders sought social and political stability for their city following the violence of the 1905 revolution by offering attractive programs in education, employment, housing and other areas to Moscow's unruly lower classes.

Scholars have broadly acknowledged that racial and ethnic diversity are central to American political history, but Rodney E.
