демократизация

The processes of democratization in Britain in the works of pre-revolutionary historians

The article examines the views of historians of the late XIX and early XX centuries on the democratization of the British electoral system through three parliamentary reforms in 1832, 1867 and 1884. It is concluded that these reforms were considered by representatives of the “Russian historical school” in the context of the general political development of the country, without deep analysis.

The evolution of political ideas of zemstvo’s workers and employees (June 1917 – June 1918)

Based on the analysis of publications of departmental journals “Zemsky Delo” and “Zemsky Worker”, the author of the article tried to reconstruct several stages of development of political ideas of zemstvo’s workers and employees in the period from June 1917 to June 1918. As a result, conclusions were drawn about the development of political ideas from the concept of non-partisan and “supra-class democracy” to attempts to justify the integration of zemstvos into the system of trade union and cooperative movement and Soviet authorities.

Процессы демократизации в Великобритании XIX века в работах дореволюционных историков.

Аннотация. В статье рассмотрены взгляды дореволюционных историков конца XIX – начала XX вв. на демократизацию Британской избирательной системы через три парламентских реформы 1832, 1867 и 1884 гг. Делается вывод, что данные реформы рассматривались представителями «русской исторической школы» в контексте общего политического развития страны, без глубокого анализа. Выявлено, что наибольшее внимание историки уделяли первой парламентской реформе 1832 г., которой приписывали революционное значение, тогда как последующие реформы рассматривались более фрагментарно.
