André Monnier, A Russian Utopia at the time of Catherine the Great.
This article analyzes the little known work of Prince Shcherbatov: Journey to Ophiria. It is a Utopia reverting to the past, in which easily detectable criticism of the present merges with nostalgia for a patriarchal Russia where nobility's power was untramelled by autocracy. The author proceeds to examine the various aspects of Shcherbatov's ideal: a society founded on hierarchic precedences, pure morals safeguarded by police as well as by religion, political order based on limitations of the sovereign's prerogatives by the aristocracy.
