Description
Autocracy Under Siege: Security Police and Opposition in Russia, 1866-1905
This study examines the role of the imperial Russian security police during a period of significant social and political upheaval. From the first terrorist attempt on the life of a Russian emperor in 1866 to the seismic events of 1905, Jonathan W. Daly traces the evolution of the security police in response to growing antigovernment activity.
Daly draws upon a wealth of sources, including recently declassified archival documents, to provide a detailed analysis of the personnel, institutions, and effectiveness of the imperial Russian security police. He also explores the interplay between regime and opposition, revealing that despite its notorious reputation, the security police actually resembled European models.
