Rulers and Subjects Government and People in Russia 1801-1991 [Paperback]

This book is the study of governors and the governed, from 1801 until the end of the Soviet state. In charting the rocky course of that relationship, it devotes considerable attention to the two occasions when rebellion did succeed, placing them firmly in the context of 200 years of Russian history.
