A landmark work in European and Russian historiography, Russia in the Age of Modernisation and Revolution 1881-1917 chronicles the turbulent final decades of Tsarist Russia with scholarly precision and compelling narrative force. Hans Rogger presents a sweeping account of the social, political, and economic transformations that reshaped the Russian empire from the assassination of Alexander II through to the revolutions of 1917. The work argues that this period was defined by profound contradictions — a modernising state struggling against entrenched autocracy, a peasant society in flux, and a growing revolutionary movement that would ultimately bring down the Romanov dynasty. Rogger details the interplay of industrialisation, nationalism, and political repression with the authority of a leading scholar of Russian history, making this an essential reference for students and researchers alike. Part of the Longman History of Russia series, it remains one of the most authoritative and accessible surveys of late Imperial Russia available.
