The book of Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor of Moscow State Pedagogical University Alexander Pyzhikov “Rise over the abyss. 1890-1917" is dedicated to the last three decades of the Russian Empire. Everything was concentrated on this historical period: unresolved age-old problems; attempts to create conditions for a new industrial breakthrough; a fierce struggle of representatives of the old world who did not want to give up their positions - oligarchs, merchants, parasitic aristocracy; the greed and true intentions of our allies in the Entente, for whom Russia is just a tasty morsel. It was a time of choosing a path, when procrastination is deadly.
Sensing the country's sliding into an economic abyss, Nicholas II brought to power a new administrative elite with a fundamentally different attitude towards the state. They develop and begin to implement truly great reforms in the most important areas of life: finally, their own path of development, worthy of a great power, has been outlined. Who was behind progressive modernization? Did Russia have a real chance to turn into a real "factory of the world"? It was a time of tremendous rise over the economic abyss. Preparations for the launch of a new economic model caused unprecedented concern among the allies in the Entente. Then the First World War began, and then the February Revolution ...
A little over 100 years have passed, and we still face the same acuteness of the challenges and unresolved problems of 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 this book will be a step in that direction.
