My initial work on this period was super- vised by Olga Crisp, and her deep knowledge of imperial Russia, together with her generosity of spirit, have been of enduring value. The annual meetings of the Study Group on the Russian Revolution have provided an ideal forum for debating issues in a comradely atmosphere, and members of the Study Group have both provided specific advice and contributed to my overall think- ing on Russia before 1917. Simon Dixon and Bob McKean very generously took the time to read the entire text and make many comments that have much improved the book. I am also grateful to Jeremy Black, John Burnett, Peter Durrans and Don MacRaild who have been of particular assistance during the writing of the book. Librarians and archivists in Europe and America have assisted in locating and providing material. In Russia, the staff of the Russian State Historical Archive in St Petersburg have been exceptionally helpful on successive visits. I am also grate- ful to the staffs of the State Archive of the Russian Federation in Moscow and of the Russian National Library in St Peters- burg. In Finland, the Slavonic Department of Helsinki Univer- sity Library has provided an ideal environment for summertime research. The staffs of the British Library and the library of the School of Slavonic and East European Studies in London have always been of the greatest assistance. The interlibrary loan staff of the University of Sunderland have helped locate a mul- titude of obscure materials with efficiency and good humour. In VI America, the staff of the libraries of Harvard University were of great assistance. Clare Crowley has commented on the text in detail. Her contri- bution to the book's completion has been, in this and many other ways, inestimable. vn
