Russia As It Is is a book written by A. De Gurowski in 1854, providing a comprehensive and insightful look into the political, social, and cultural landscape of Russia during the mid-19th century. The author, a Polish diplomat and political writer, offers a critical analysis of the country's government, economy, and society, as well as its relations with neighboring countries and the rest of the world.Through a series of essays, De Gurowski delves into various aspects of Russian life, such as the role of the Tsar, the bureaucracy, the military, the nobility, and the peasantry. He also explores the country's religious and cultural traditions, including the Orthodox Church, literature, and art. Moreover, he examines the impact of Western ideas and influences on Russia's development, as well as the country's stance on international affairs, particularly in relation to Europe and Asia.Overall, Russia As It Is provides a fascinating and informative account of Russia's complex and dynamic society during a pivotal moment in its history. De Gurowski's keen observations and critical analysis offer valuable insights into the country's past, present, and future, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in Russian history, politics, and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
