With its study of the impact of the classics upon the political philosophies of the tsars as well as both Lenin and Stalin, the book demonstrates how the classics were a battleground between the state and intellectuals in the search for a Russian national identity. This book is one of the first to study the classics in the Russian context, offering a unique perspective on Russian political and intellectual history in a time of national transformation.
