The Political system of the Grand Duchy of Finland in the second half of the 19^th – early 20^th century in a monograph by a modern researcher

The work discusses the evolution of the political system of Finland from the era of the Great Reforms to the beginning of the First World War through the eyes of modern Russian researcher N.D. Postnikov. The process of building a Finnish multiparty system, in which there was no room for pro-Russian forces, is shown. This "tragedy" of Russian monarchical statehood is explained both by the opposition of local elites and the inconsistency of the authorities' own policies on its constitutional fringes.
