Rather, our general image of the nation is of insecurity of private ownership and defenselessness in the face of the state. Many scholars have attributed Russia's long-term development problems to a failure to advance property rights for the modern age and blamed Russian intellectuals for their indifference to the issues of ownership. A Public Empire refutes this widely shared conventional wisdom and analyzes the emergence of Russian property regimes from the time of Catherine the Great through World War I and the revolutions of 1917. Most importantly, A Public Empire shows the emergence of the new practices of owning "public things" in imperial Russia and the attempts of Russian intellectuals to reconcile the security of property with the ideals of the common good.The book analyzes how the belief that certain objects-rivers, forests, minerals, historical monuments, icons, and Russian literary classics-should accede to some kind of public status developed in Russia in the mid-nineteenth century. Professional experts and liberal politicians advocated for a property reform that aimed at exempting public things from private ownership, while the tsars and the imperial government employed the rhetoric of protecting the sanctity of private property and resisted attempts at its limitation.Exploring the Russian ways of thinking about property, A Public Empire looks at problems of state reform and the formation of civil society, which, as the book argues, should be rethought as a process of constructing "the public" through the reform of property rights. 606 $aPublic domain$zRussia$xHistory 606 $aRight of property$zRussia$xHistory 606 $aGovernment ownership$zRussia$xHistory 607 $aRussia$xHistory$y1613-1917 610 $aBolshevik. 610 $aCatherine the Great. 610 $aLeo Tolstoy. 610 $aRussia. 610 $aRussian Empire. 610 $aRussian art. 610 $aRussian icons. 610 $aRussian monarchy. 610 $aRussian property. 610 $aRussian rulers. 610 $aRussian state. 610 $aRussian. 610 $aSoviet Union. 610 $aabsolute private domain. 610 $aappropriation. 610 $aauthorial rights. 610 $aauthors. 610 $aautocracy. 610 $achurches. 610 $acivil society. 610 $acopyright. 610 $acultural reform. 610 $aemancipation. 610 $aexpropriation. 610 $aforest preservation. 610 $aimperialism. 610 $aintellectual capital. 610 $amineral resources. 610 $anational patrimony. 610 $apatrimonial relations. 610 $apeasants. 610 $apersonal rights. 610 $aprivacy. 610 $aprivate interests. 610 $aprivate life. 610 $aprivate property. 610 $aproperty reform. 610 $aproperty rights. 610 $apublic domain. 610 $apublic property. 610 $apublic status. 610 $areligious architecture. 610 $areligious art. 610 $areligious icons. 610 $ares publica. 610 $arivers. 610 $aserfdom. 610 $asocial development. 610 $asocialism. 610 $astate possessions. 610 $astate reform. 615 0$aPublic domain$xHistory. 615 0$aRight of property$xHistory. 615 0$aGovernment ownership$xHistory. 676 $a333.10947/09034 700 $aPravilova$b E.
