The Reformer

How One Liberal Fought to Preempt the Russian Revolution

Stephen F. Williams

This book explores the political landscape of Russia in 1917, where moderates sought liberal reform and a constitutional monarchy. Vasily Maklakov, a prominent lawyer and public intellectual, was one of the strongest advocates for the rule of law and the face of liberalism. His story offers a cautionary tale and a guide for modern movements seeking to liberalize authoritarian countries. Despite never being a cabinet member or head of his political party, Maklakov was deeply involved in most political events of the period, standing between the absolute extremes and advocating for a myriad of reforms.

A very interesting book, and Vasily Maklakov definitely deserves to be remembered and considered today, when the idea of a liberal, modern Russia seems far-fetched.      источник
