metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The author of the article highly appreciates the monograph by I. V. Potkina “On the eve of
  the catastrophe. The state and economy of Russia in 1914–1917”. The author of the book proposed
  a new approach to their study, which made it possible to identify features of the formation
  of the military-economic mobilization model and management of the national economy.
  I. V. Potkina classified eight main directions of the government’s economic policy. Comparing
  the ways of regulating the economy of the tsarist and the Provisional Government, the author
  showed that these were different periods of the formation of the mobilization model, and it
  was the policy of the Provisional Government that led to the collapse of the economy. As a
  result, the author of the monograph came to a reasonable conclusion that the economic policy
  of the tsarist government was in line with the challenges of the time and pan-European trends.
  The author of the article considers the thesis about the so-called systemic crisis of the autocracy
  far-fetched. He connects the problems of the country’s development in the late 19th — early
  20th centuries with the fact that in 1861–1905 Russia tried to realize its first anti-capitalist utopia
  — that in the industrial age it is possible to be a “distinctive” great power, that is, to influence
  the destinies of the world, rejecting everything due to which competitors and opponents
  have achieved prosperity, primarily, the general civil legal system, the corresponding rights of
  all strata of the population and complete freedom of entrepreneurship. Only in 1906 did the
  transition to the rule of law begin.
