This history of Russian cities examines the transformation of urban life in the late tsarist period. Specifically, it looks at the changes under way in European Russia in the decades between the reforms of Alexander II and the Revolution of 1905. These years saw innovations in all areas of Russian life, but they also saw debate over the desirability and pace of these trends. Russian urban society was a key part of both developments; it was an arena of reform and a symbol of both the promises and the dangers of reform. The inhabitants of the capitals, St. Petersburg and Moscow, could not longer lay claim to live in the only civilized cities in the land. Provincial towns were becoming centers of trade, manufacturing, education, and print culture.

The events of the last years of NEP—the New Economic Policy—confront historians with two complex and still controversial issues: the effect of these "new" policies on the Russian economy, on society, and on methods of Communist rule in the country and the political conflict dividing the party leadership in the late 1920s. The first issue raises the question of the extent to which NEP was evolving in a direction compatible with the Communists' dream of a socialist society, with the short-term political needs of the Soviet state, and with the priorities of economic development. The second issue focuses on the political instability generated by the controversy over domestic policy and methods of rule, as well as by the personal antagonism between the two key political leaders, Nikolai Bukharin and Stalin. The debate on these questions, answers to which are crucial to our understanding of the origins of Stalinism, has for the most part relied on evidence drawn from central party and state activities, giving the discussion a panoramic view of the history of those years.
