Abstract

The author characterizes the reforms of the nineteenth century Russia. She particularly emphasizes the reformist activities of Mikhail Speranski, as well as the so-called great reforms of the 60s and 70s, with a special role of the libertarian and enfranchisement reform (1861). An important period of reforming the economic and political system of Russia fell on the period of reforms carried out by Sergei Witte and Peter Stolypin. However, as the author shows, the reform efforts in the period in question were generally overdue and did not contribute to the stabilization of the state system, but to its destabilization.
