The military and revolutionary upheavals of the 18th and 19th centuries—along with new radical ideas and technological innovations—created conflicting sentiments in the countries of the Old World: on the one hand, a sense of threat to the traditional way of life, on the other, hope for progress in addressing social problems. European monarchs and heads of state were forced to seek new ways to contain public unrest, which inevitably entailed a rethinking of the foundations of state security. This collective monograph focuses on the Russian state's response to the political and social challenges that threatened the monarchical world order (wars in Europe, national movements, the democratization of life, etc.). The authors examine how processes of securitization and etatization are refracted across various spheres—from religion, economics, and borderland governance to the techniques of surveillance and control that marked the transition to a modern state. At the center of the discourse on the security of the Russian Empire are issues related to serfdom, the class system, the integration of non-Russian peoples into the Russian Empire, religious tolerance, and the trust between the nobility and the dynasty, which was seriously shaken after the Decembrist uprising. The collective research was conducted from a broad transnational perspective.
