W. Bruce Lincoln Reform and reaction in Russia: A . V. Golovnin's critique of the 1860's.
The first decade of Alexander II's reign brought many changes to Russia as the Imperial government made serious efforts to deal with problems of local government, serfdom, legal reform, and a host of other pressing issues. Yet, by the end of the decade, Russian domestic policy had taken a more conservative, even reactionary, turn. A. V. Golovnin, one of the reformers of the 1860's, a confidant of the Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolaevich, and Minister of Public Instruction from 1861-1866, sought to examine the reasons for this dramatic change in official attitudes and to determine where this new policy was leading. Most important, Golovnin urged the Emperor and his advisers to develop a clearly-defined state policy, to allow public opinion to have a voice in governmental decisions, and to permit broader participation of Russia's citizens in local government.
