Arakcheev, for example, is far more of a despot than Alexander.

England’s long and tortuous path towards the same goal,

by bringing Alexander popularity unmatched either before or after it, the victory of 1812 provided the Russian ruling elite with just the impetus required to set Russia on a new course.

allowing landowners to demand that the government purchase serfs and land atprices specified for each province, through the issuing of assignats or bonds

like Storch, Mordvinov believed that serfdom was inefficient,costly, and destructive of Russian prosperity. In his scheme for self-redemption Mordvinovtried to link emancipation, which he considered natural and inevitable, to capital formation,which he believed was essential. Since serfdom was economically undesirable forlandowners, selling freedom to peasants industrious enough to amass a steep redemptionprice (and thus, presumably, to support themselves in freedom) was an elegant solutionthat would put capital in landowners’ hands and require them to continue “supporting”the weaker, naturally dependent, serfs. By these means, “the number of free people inRussia would gradually increase.”5

Even liberal Russians wereaffected by their country’s hard-won victory over the regime that Revolution had spawned.To man Nature had granted freedom of action, mind, and will, but people who had livedfor ages without civil liberties were not likely to employ them usefully without educationin citizenship. Such people might safely pass from dependence to independence only iftheir emancipation were gradually established by law.

because masters oftenhad to make up work for their excess slaves; because slaves retained in agriculture werenot available for industry or other productive labor; because slaves required greatersurveillance than free workers, rendering their upkeep more expensive; and because slavesconsumed more than free workers, not for pleasure, but through theft, waste, andcarelessness.43 The great sin of slavery was, therefore, that it undermined the productionof wealth—that personal wealth that was the essence of national wealth.

An emancipatedserf would not be sovereign, or free, if he had lost all right to use his hereditary land andwas compelled to enter into contracts with his former master from such a weak position.

Noble landowners had the right to state and press their views directly to thesovereign, whereas peasant communities did not.

their liberationfrom the great inconvenience of “dependency” was emphasized, whereas the earlier Livlandscheme had overlooked that disadvantage while emphasizing hereditary use rights

respected and acknowledged noble privileges, certainly no less than peasants’ hereditaryrights. If the emperor appeared inconsistent in embracing different, and even contradictory,principles of emancipation, it is because he accepted the increasingly irreconcilable “rights”of both groups.

Any steps they took must bedesigned to avoid both the reaction that had undone Joseph II’s legislation and theunthinkable fate of the French Bourbons

Protestants in 2004—5 have described unforgettably the emotional intensity of storytelling, in this case concerning harrowing experiences of IRA attacks. Listening to the story of one man, shot seven times with an Armalite automatic rifle in his home, and now partially paralyzed, they were confronted by two local women who asked, “Are you going to tell the truth? Do you know that this is a story of innocent victims murdered by butchers?”®

most compelling argument in favor of a truth recovery process is the palpable need of the bereaved to find out what happened to their relatives.

he political context for the report was the anger caused by the phased release of para- military prisoners envisaged in the Good Friday Agreement, hence per- haps Bloomfield’s conclusion that “victims must, at barest minimum, be as well served as former prisoners in terms of their rehabilitation, future employment, etc,”

Instead, Protestant alienation was overwhelm- ingly focused on the early release of paramilitary prisoners, the reform of the RUC, and the refusal of the IRA to decommission its weapons.

In 1998, for the first time, the vast majority of Irish people, North and South, effectively recognized the partition of Ireland, albeit in a new, pluralist form.

devolved structures created in 1998 constitute a repudiation of the simple majority-rule model of government which had been discred- ited under the old Stormont regime. By institutionalizing cross-commu- nity consensus as the basis of decision making, however, the agreement also inadvertently institutionalized the communal division deplored by so many of the individuals and groups who actively tried to make North- ern Ireland a more equal, tolerant, and peaceful society.4
