Russian Political Institutions 
By MAXIME HKOVALEVSHY 
Formerly Professor of Public Law at the University of Moscow 
é 
A sketch of Russian Political Institutions, past and present. The author’s task has been to give a 
bird’s-eye view of the internal development of Russia. 
Up to the present time the standard work on Russia for English-speaking peoples 
h Mackenzie Wallace’s volume. The aim of Professor Kovalevsky’s book 
differs widely. Instead of aiming “to convey a general idea of the country and 
people” (as Wallace phrases his object), it is essentially expository—the history of 
h n written in English. In the 
main the book is one for the student and the scholar, in a much more intimate 
sense than is, for instance, Professor Bryce’s American Commonwealth. But the 
sections dealing with the emancipation of the serfs, local self-government, and, 
especially, the universities and the press, will be found to contain matter not only 
not elsewhere accessible, but of universal interest.
