Russia’s Second Douma and the agrarian policy shift
The analysis details how nobles and autocracy coerce reform, replacing peasant communalism with private property. It explains the dissolution of the second Douma and the June electoral law favoring large landowners, creating a fragile political equilibrium. The talk argues the class struggle will deepen until core social issues are settled, with no easy peace in sight.
