Часть 34. Модернизация: упущенный шанс Российской Империи / Кирилл Назаренко и Егор Яковлев

A new episode from the "History of Russia: The Essentials" series. This time, Kirill Nazarenko and Yegor Yakovlev discuss the class structure of the Russian Empire and the hypothetical possibility of its modernization without a revolutionary upheaval. Could the empire of Nicholas II have made a leap into modernity, or were its social contradictions too deep? How did the nobility, peasants, townspeople, and clergy live after the reforms? Why did the emancipated peasants remain in dire straits? Could a peasant's son become an officer? How did Jews, Muslims, and Buddhists coexist in an Orthodox empire? Did the disenfranchised status of women change? Why couldn't Stolypin's reforms save the country from crisis? And how did agrarian overpopulation lead Russia to social upheaval?
