metadata.value: This article discusses the punitive policy of the Russian Tsarist government in the early 20th
  century as a result of the confrontation between the authorities and the revolutionary forces.
  Following Michel Foucault’s argument, the starting point of this study is that the prison reflects
  the society and the changes within it. Authoritarianism in late imperial society was not
  left unchallenged. In the course of the Great Reforms of Alexander II, the prison reform played
  an important role. The reduction of the number of prisoners and the gradual improvement in
  the conditions of their detention was interrupted by events that began during the First Russian
  Revolution of 1905. Under its shadow, the revolutionary movement awoke and activated all
  kind of crime. The result was a large increase in the number of inmates in Russian prisons.
  However, a series of unfortunate circumstances, such as an epidemic, the First World War and
  the last two of the revolutions finally undermined the Russian penitentiary system that was
  still in the making. The paper applies a holistic approach to the Russian penitentiary system. It
  utilizes a broad range of sources ranging from legislator memorandums and reports of officials
  of the Tsarist prison administration to expert opinions published in special journals. It also
  uses statistical data for quantitative analysis to contextualize separate features in the prison
  system. Analysis of not only historical and political development in the late Imperial Russia
  but also of philosophical and legal concepts makes this research a multidisciplinary study.
