This volume provides a historical introduction to the question of whether Russian state and society can be reformed successfully for Russia to become a full-fledged member of the European community of nations, or whether its attempts at modernization are destined to suffer cyclical failures. Examinations of past reform efforts going back to the early nineteenth century and moving forward through Gorbachev provide grounds for modest hope.
