metadata.value: The essay examines D. A. Andreev’s monograph “Autocracy at a turning point: 1894 in the
  history of the dynasty and power” dedicated to the process of transformation of Tsarevich
  Nicholas Alexandrovich into Tsar Nicholas II. The monograph addresses the key problems
  of its topic: the formation of the bureaucratic competence of Nikolai Alexandrovich and the
  question of the political testament of Alexander III to his son; the perception of the interregnum
  of 1894 by representatives of the ruling elite and the oppositional public; the reflection
  on the relationships between Nicholas II and his entourage by Empress Alexandra Feodorovna
  on the pages of her husband’s diary at the end of 1894; the circumstances of the first
  major personnel decisions of Nicholas II, which were the dismissal of the Minister of Railways
  A. K. Krivoshein and the appointment of Prince M. I. Khilkov as his successor. The paper
  draws a special attention to the central plot of the monograph — the speech of Nicholas II
  delivered on January 17, 1895, before representatives of the estate and local governments.
  The author of the essay comes to the conclusion that the January 17 speech symbolized the
  distancing of Nicholas II from the zemstvo, who sought to politicize local self-government,
  and from adherents of parliamentary constitutionalism, according to which, the monarch, as
  in England, “reigns, but does not rule”. In other words, the notorious speech did not mean the
  tsar’s refusal to cooperate with loyal zemstvo and to implement, at the same time, a reformist
  course aimed at gradually transformation the state system of the Russian Empire.
