(Verner) Malinen, Verner Geschichte Russlands von 1878 bis 1918. Finnish Venäjän historia 1878-1918 Produced by Sami Sieranoja and Tapio Riikonen "Venäjän historia 1878-1918" by Alfred von Hedenström is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the tumultuous socio-political landscape of Russia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly focusing on the struggle for national sovereignty and the implications of reforms initiated by Tsar Alexander II. It analyzes the significant events and figures that shaped this period, including the impact of various social movements and the Russian Empire's intricate dynamics with its diverse ethnicities. At the start of the work, the author sets the stage by discussing the historical context of Russia, detailing the prolonged fight of its people for state freedom and better living conditions. The narrative reflects on the aspirations of Alexander II to modernize the empire through reforms, including the emancipation of serfs and establishment of local self-government. The subsequent assassination of Alexander II led to a retreat from these initiatives, resulting in a period of stagnation marked by resistance to reform. The author emphasizes the implications of these historical choices on the eventual rise of revolutionary sentiment, providing a compelling introduction to the intricate connections between governance, societal unrest, and the quest for modernity in a vast and diverse empire.
