The book of Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor of Moscow State University Alexander Pyzhikov "Rising above the abyss. 1890-1917" is devoted to the last three decades of the Russian Empire. On this historical interval everything was concentrated: unsolved century problems; attempts to create conditions for a new industrial breakthrough; fierce struggle of representatives of the old world - oligarchs, merchants, parasitic aristocracy - who did not want to give up their positions; greed and true intentions of our Entente allies, for whom Russia is only a tidbit. It was a time of choosing a path, when to delay - deadly dangerous.
Feeling the country's slide into an economic abyss, Nicholas II brings to power a new managerial elite with a fundamentally different attitude to the state. They develop and begin to implement truly great reforms in the most important areas of life: finally outlined its own path of development, worthy of a great power. Who was behind the progressive modernization? Did Russia really have a real chance to turn into a real "factory of the world"? It was a time of a stunning rise above the economic abyss. Preparations to launch a new economic model caused unprecedented concern among the Entente allies. Then came World War I, followed by the February Revolution....
A little more than 100 years have passed and we face the same acuteness of challenges and unsolved problems of the Russian society. On the agenda is the necessary historical legitimization of the state course. A course that returns modern Russia to its own civilizational context. We hope that this book will be a step in this direction.
