Description: 1837 by Paul W. Werth Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description 1837 was a critical moment in Russias history. The years noteworthy occurrences extend from the realms of culture, religion, and ideas to those of empire, politics, and industry. This book argues that the 1830s in Russia were a period of dynamism and culture, and that 1837 was pivotal for the countrys entry into the modern age. Publisher Description Historians often think of Russia before the 1860s in terms of conservative stasis, when the "gendarme of Europe" secured order beyond the countrys borders and entrenched the autocratic system at home. This book offers a profoundly different vision of Russia under Nicholas I. Drawing on an extensive array of sources, it reveals that many of modern Russias most distinctive and outstanding features can be traced back to an inconspicuous but exceptional year. Russiabecame what it did, in no small measure, because of 1837.The catalogue of the years noteworthy occurrences extends from the realms of culture, religion, and ideas to those ofempire, politics, and industry. Exploring these diverse issues and connecting seemingly divergent historical actors, Paul W. Werth reveals that the 1830s in Russia were a period of striking dynamism and consequence, and that 1837 was pivotal for the countrys entry into the modern age. From the romantic death of Russias greatest poet Alexander Pushkin in January to a colossal fire at the Winter Palace in December, Russia experienced much that was astonishing in 1837: the railway and provincialpress appeared, Russian opera made its debut, Orthodoxy pushed westward, the first Romanov visited Siberia—and much else besides. The cumulative effect was profound. The countrys integrationaccelerated, and a Russian nation began to emerge, embodied in new institutions and practices, within the larger empire. The result was a quiet revolution, after which Russia would never be the same. Author Biography Paul Werth is Professor in the Department of History at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
