La 4e de couv. indique : "En 1904, la Russie autocratique de Nicolas II - alors le plus vaste empire terrestre au monde - est humiliée par ses revers militaires face au Japon, puis ébranlée par la révolution de 1905. Nicolas II cède d'abord aux aspirations de ses populations à la liberté, mais ne change pas sa conception du pouvoir. La Grande Guerre, ses échecs militaires et les difficultés économiques achèvent de le priver de tout soutien. Le gouvernement provisoire issu de la révolution de Février 1917 est à son tour incapable d'apaiser les tensions sociales et politiques, puis renversé par les bolcheviks en Octobre 1917. Cette nouvelle révolution provoque alors la désintégration de l'ancien empire et précipite la guerre civile. Finalement, les bolcheviks parviennent à imposer leur projet de transformation sociale et à reconfigurer l'essentiel de l'ancien domaine impérial russe, sous la forme de l'Union soviétique en 1922.".

"Modernisation has been a constant theme in Russian history at least since Peter the Great launched a series of initiatives aimed at closing the economic, technical and cultural gap between Russia and the more?advanced? countries of Europe. All of the leaders of the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russia have been intensely aware of this gap, and have pursued a number of strategies, some more successful than others, in order to modernise the country. But it would be wrong to view modernisation as a unilinear process which was the exclusive preserve of the state. Modernisation has had profound effects on Russian society, and the attitudes of different social groups have been crucial to the success and failure of modernisation. This volume examines the broad theme of modernisation in late imperial, Soviet, and post-Soviet Russia both through general overviews of particular topics, and specific case studies of modernisation projects and their impact. Modernisation is seen not just as an economic policy, but as a cultural and social phenomenon reflected through such diverse themes as ideology, welfare, education, gender relations, transport, political reform, and the Internet. The result is the most up to date and comprehensive survey of modernisation in Russia available, which highlights both one of the perennial problems and the challenges and prospects for contemporary Russia."
