"There is a widespread notion that Russia is forever fated to be an authoritarian
country where liberalism and democracy can never make real progress. However, at the
beginning of the twentieth century there was an extremely influential 'liberationist'
movement which culminated in the formation of a modern, Western-style liberal party,
the Constitutional Democrats or 'Kadets'. The book provides a comprehensive history
of the rise of the Kadets, focusing, in particular, on the revolutionary years 1905-06.
It outlines how they dominated the first Duma elected by the people and analyses their
policies, social composition and political tactics. The book challenges the view (shared
by many historians) that the Kadets were inherently extreme, doctrinaire or unwilling
to compromise, and argues that their eventual failure was primarily due to the intransigence
of the old régime. The Russian Liberals and the Revolution of 1905 illustrates, in
detail, that the Kadets offered a moderate alternative to reaction on the one hand
and revolution on the other"
