Dominic Lieven's powerful and original book, based on exhaustive and unprecedented study in Russian and many other foreign archives, explains why this suicidal decision was made and explores the world of the men who made it, thereby consigning their entire class to death or exile and making their country the victim of a uniquely terrible political experiment under Lenin and Stalin. Extracts from a review in the New York Times by Serge Schmemann. Dominic Lieven's stated reason for this contribution to the centenary literature on World War I is to place Russia "where it belongs, at the very center" of the war's history. Certainly the war proved to be at the center of Russian history, leading to revolution, dictatorship, repression and more war. Mr. Lieven, a well-respected British scholar of Imperial Russia, makes the convincing case that World War I was really about the struggle of Russia and Germany for territory, status and influence in Eastern and Central Europe, in which the fate of Ukraine — shades of today — played a central role. In giving Russia's side of the story — as he did in his well-received study of an earlier war, "Russia Against Napoleon: The Battle for Europe, 1807 to 1814" — Mr. Lieven punctures the popular Western image of a reactionary autocracy stumbling into a suicidal war through misguided Slavic nationalism. There is that, but his Russia is also a vast empire and an economic powerhouse in the making, where a fledgling civil society and influential press often contributed to nationalist passions while a counterintuitively capable aristocratic elite wrestled with legitimate questions of where Russia's national interests lay in the complex and rapidly changing world of the early 20th century. His intimate familiarity with the Russia he describes and his extensive study of the letters, diaries and books of the chief actors in Russia's descent "towards the flames" — many not hitherto accessible to historians — are what render this work so authoritative and readable. In Mr. Lieven's telling, the primary cause of the war was "the conflict of interests, fears, and ambitions created by the decline of the Ottoman and Austrian empires." The crises this generated could have been resolved only through the collaboration of the rising German and Russian states. But that was neither simple nor obvious at the time in St. Petersburg, torn among the imperatives of ensuring access to Black Sea ports through the Straits; sustaining a Slavophile "mission" to the Balkan Slavs; managing the costs of a vast land empire; and balancing dynastic links to Germany against fears of its rising power. Nicholas II, in Mr. Lieven's telling, is also more complex and sympathetic than the hapless monarch of Western lore. The subject of another earlier Lieven study, Nicholas is "above all else a Russian patriot," steeped in the ideology of a unique communion between Orthodox czar and people, caught between equally dangerous demands for reform and status quo. Some of the forces that Mr. Lieven describes behind Russian policies and politics — messianism coupled with a sense of inferiority, backwardness coupled with brilliance and great wealth, the vastness of the land and the determination of the rulers to be recognized as a great power — are all very much on display in Putin's Russia. 2016.
