The Russian Intelligentsia is a groundbreaking single-volume history that delves into the remarkable journey of a select group of Russian intellectuals who have made an indelible impact on various global domains.

It delves into the pivotal role of the intelligentsia throughout its origins, its transformative impact during the Russian Revolution, and its enduring influence since the collapse of communism. Key figures such as Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Ivan Pavlov, Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky, and Mikhail Gorbachev are examined in depth, shedding light on their beliefs and contributions to Russian social and cultural history. By offering a comprehensive guide to this fascinating aspect of Russian history, The Russian Intelligentsia serves as an essential resource for scholars, students, and enthusiasts alike.
