Gilbert Doctorow, The Russian gentry and the coup d'état of 3 June 1907.
The gentry were the chief beneficiaries of the coup d'état of 3 June 1907. The new general electoral law issued on that date conferred on them the dominant position in the State Duma. This fact and certain boasts later made by gentry spokesmen have led historians to believe that gentry pressure was the cause and determinant of the coup d'état. In the present essay this assumption is tested against the record of corporate gentry activity in the year preceding the coup and is found to be false. The several lobbying efforts of the gentry for change in the electoral system were themselves inspired by bold actions of the government. Moreover, none of the gentry's specific proposals was subsequently adopted by the government. At most, gentry activity merely provided a propitious setting for the coup.
