The confrontation between the Moscow merchant class and the St. Petersburg elite, which lasted almost 300 years, in one way or another came down to the question of modernizing Russia. The position of the Moscow bourgeoisie, rooted in the peasantry, differed radically from the views of the Europeanized St. Petersburg nobility. Competition between the largest financial centers of the empire invariably affected the politics and economy of the entire state.

- When and why did the antagonism between Moscow and St. Petersburg begin?
- How did the beliefs and goals of the merchants and the bureaucracy evolve?
- What role did the elites play in the fall of the monarchy in Russia?

This book will help you trace how the ideologies of Moscow and St. Petersburg influenced the course of Russian history from the age of Peter the Great to the tumultuous events of 1917.
