This article examines the liberal reformism of prince V. F. Odoevsky in the 1850s and 1860s. It is shown that the prince’s defense of the Russian community in 1857 complicated his progress toward economic freedom, bringing him closer to the “conservative” liberal B. N. Chicherin, but distancing him from K. D. Kavelin. His steadfast liberal position on various issues was expressed through sympathy for S. S. Gromeka, and his defense of liberal institutions after the onset of the domestic political regime in 1866.

The article examines the impact of the degree of unity of Russian society on the course of military conflicts and the integrity of the country in crisis situations. The main manifestations of the split in Russian society are considered.
