Second State Duma. 1907

Member of the Cadet Central Committee, deputy of the State Duma of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th convocations Vasily Alekseevich Maklakov (1869-1957) was one of the most authoritative Russian politicians at the beginning of the 20th century and, like many at that time, dreamed of a revolutionary update of Russia. He met the October Revolution in Paris, where the Provisional Government sent him as an ambassador of the Russian Republic.
In the 30s, rethinking the events that led to the revolution, and the role of various parties and political movements in it, V.A. Maklakov wrote memories of the activities of the State Duma of the 1st and 2nd convocations, in which he shared with readers bitter thoughts about the results of his revolutionary struggle.
Books V.A. Maklakov has never been published in Russia and published for the first time
