The power that he has over his subjects, he far surpasses all the monarchs of the whole world. He is equally oppressed by brutal slavery. All of them call themselves slaves, that is, slaves of the sovereign ... " - so at the beginning of the XVI century. The style of the Grand Duke of Moscow was described by a foreign ambassador. The Russian authorities as a special, non -similar political system gained its appearance under the descendants of Dmitry Donskoy, but disputes about the origin and evolution of the autocracy in Russia have been going on for more than a century. The very abundance of contradictory versions - shows how much this issue is still poorly studied.
A new book of the candidate of historical sciences S.M. Sergeyev, the author of the bestseller "Russian nation, or the story of the history of its absence", first traces the history of the Russian autocracy in all details, answering the most debatable questions. Why could a Russian autocrat afford what any monarch in Europe could only dream of? Why did Russia come out of the Middle Ages without any of the forms of restriction of the rule of the ruler in the West? Why, starting with the Petrine reforms, it became the "Empire of violence"? Why did the only tsar former the convinced liberal did nothing to the triumph of these ideas on Russian soil? Why did the conservative project of Nicholas I be completely ineffective? Finally, why the total, almost religious disappointment in the authority of the monarch, whom the subjects called the "fool" and "Baba" led to the disaster of 1917?
