This is a study of the impact of liberal academic ideas on the concept of civil society in Russia in the years following the revolution of 1905. David Wartenweiler shows how, in its efforts to further the cause of civil society, the academic community combined liberal notions of the individual and the citizen with their own professional claim to cultural leadership.
