Abstract

Le règne du dernier empereur de Russie a-t-il marqué l'inexorable déclin d'un régime ne pouvant déboucher que sur une rupture violente et radicale - celle d'Octobre 1917 - ou bien recelait-il les éléments d'une transition interrompue, celle que la Russie de Boris Eltsine, quatre-vingts ans après, s'est mise en devoir et en peine de reprendre ? S'attachant au destin du dernier tsar de Russie, l'ouvrage d'Hélène Carrère d'Encausse soulève une multitude de questions. Plus que tout autre, Nicolas II, héritier des réformes d'Alexandre II, a œuvré pour la modernisation de son pays, apportant des changements profonds à l'État, à la société et à l'économie russes. L'échec et la révolution étaient-ils alors inscrits dès le départ dans le processus de modernisation ? Faut-il accepter l'idée défendue par certains historiens que toute tentative de réforme est en Russie condamnée à ouvrir la voie à la barbarie ? Ou bien peut-on regarder le stalinisme puis la stagnation néostalinienne comme une funeste parenthèse dans la transformation profonde que les circonstances ont momentanément arrêtée mais dont les germes, toujours présents, peuvent servir à fertiliser et légitimer la transition engagée en cette fin du XXe siècle ?

Abstract

"An eyewitness account of the Russian Revolution of 1917 and its aftermath, newly translated into English. Major General Konstantin Ivanovich Globachev was chief of the Okhrana, the Tsarist secret police, in Petrograd (now St. Petersburg) in the two years preceding the 1917 Russian Revolution. This book presents his memoirs--translated into English for the first time--interposed with those of his wife, Sofia Nikolaevna Globacheva. The general's writings, which he titled The Truth of the Russian Revolution, provide a front-row view of Tsar Nicholas II's final years, the revolution, and its tumultuous aftermath. Globachev describes the political intrigue and corruption in the capital and details his office's surveillance over radical activists and the mysterious Rasputin. His wife takes a more personal approach, depicting her tenacity in the struggle to keep her family intact and the family's flight to freedom. Her descriptions vividly portray the privileges and relationships of the noble class that collapsed with the empire. Translator Vladimir G. Marinich includes biographical information, illustrations, a glossary, and a timeline to contextualize this valuable primary source on a key period in Russian history"--Publisher description.
