Max Weber and Peter Struve on the Russian revolution

Timofey Dmitriev

pp. 305-328

The author conducts a comparative analysis of the Russian Revolution developed by two prominent social-political thinkers of Germany and Russia in the early twentieth century—Max Weber and Peter Struve. The article focuses on their respective interpretations of the causes, course, and consequences of the Revolution as determined by their political ideals, i.e. a specific combination of nationalism and liberalism. The author pays special attention to Weber's and Struve's perception of the Russian Revolution, which, albeit for different reasons, was rejected by both thinkers.
