metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The paper examines the main policies of the imperial government, the tzar’s namestnik (lord
  viceroy) and the State Duma concerning the Caucasus question between 1905 and 1907. All the measures
  to combat regional nationalism and terrorism are investigated amid the general policy of de-escalation
  of tensions and the remedial actions taken in the wake of revolutionary turmoil. The authors
  investigate the course by the namestnik H. I. Vorontsov-Dashkov who put together all possible reforms
  and security measures to good advantage. The namestnik’s independent policy led to multiple conflicts
  with bureaucrats as well as with the State Duma. A personal factor is also worth taking into account —
  H. I. Vorontsov-Dashkov had awkward dealings with some members of the government, especially
  P. A. Stolypin. The authors conclude that local elites of the region tried to gain maximum concessions
  from the government in the shortest time possible through demonstrating explicit support of revolutionary
  circles. At the same time, the imperial administration’s overriding demand for the restoration to
  minimally safe conditions was more or less ignored. Having chosen the language of slogans and massive
  pressure on the Tsarist administration, the Caucasian deputies of the State Duma abrogated the possibility
  of satisfying their voters’ expectations and fulfilled the roles of background players in settling regional
  conflicts. In conclusion, the viceroyalty was the most effective institution in the revolutionary context
  though it remained a provisional and emergency structure. Only H. I. Vorontsov-Dashkov had enough
  prerogative and subtle understanding of the situation and, finally, it was he as namestnik who took it
  upon himself to introduce real measures to settle national differences in the region and to advocate for
  the rights of the Caucasian communities in the face of the Centre. Refs 54.
