This book explores how journalists and other writers in St. Petersburg described and interpreted the troubled years between the Russian revolutions of 1905 and 1917.Mark Steinberg, distinguished historian of Russia in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, examines the work of writers of all kinds, from anonymous journalists to well-known public intellectuals, from secular liberals to religious conservatives. Though diverse in their perspectives, these urban writers were remarkably consistent in the worries they expressed. They grappled with the impact of technological and material progress on the one hand, and with an ever-deepening anxiety and pessimism on the other. Steinberg reveals a new, darker perspective on the history of St. Petersburg on the eve of revolution and presents a fresh view of Russia's experience of modernity. 606 $aCity and town life$zRussia (Federation)$zSaint Petersburg$xHistory 606 $aSocial change$zRussia (Federation)$zSaint Petersburg$xHistory 606 $aModernism (Aesthetics)$zRussia (Federation)$zSaint Petersburg$xHistory 606 $aPopular culture$zRussia (Federation)$zSaint Petersburg$xHistory 606 $aSocial problems$zRussia (Federation)$zSaint Petersburg$xHistory 607 $aSaint Petersburg (Russia)$xCivilization$y19th century 607 $aSaint Petersburg (Russia)$xCivilization$y20th century 607 $aSaint Petersburg (Russia)$xIntellectual life 607 $aSaint Petersburg (Russia)$xSocial conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCity and town life$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory. 615 0$aModernism (Aesthetics)$xHistory. 615 0$aPopular culture$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial problems$xHistory. 676 $a947/.21083 700 $aSteinberg$b Mark D.$f1953-$0924387 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457642103321 996 $aPetersburg fin de sie?cle$92448858 997 $aUNINA
