Enlightened Metropolis: Constructing Imperial Moscow, 1762-1855

Through systematic comparisons with cities in Western Europe, Alexander Martin situates Moscow in the context of the emergence of urban bourgeois civilization in the West, and helps the reader understand both how Moscow became a modern city and why this successful modernization paradoxically helped delegitimize the tsarist regime.
