description: This is the most comprehensive analysis of the first national elections in Russia ever written. Emmons lucidly assesses all forces that favored parliamentary government, not just the much-studied Kadets and Octobrists. Because of his broad coverage of the whole of European Russia, he is able to shed new light on the reasons for the elections' ultimate failure and the coming of the 1917 upheaval.
