"People did not go to the State Duma for profit"..., - writes Ariadna Tyrkova-Williams in her memoirs, which are first published in Russia. The only woman in the Central Committee of the cadet party - the main reformist force in the Russian Empire at the beginning of the 20th century, the author recreates the history of Russian parliamentarism from the establishment of the 1st State Duma in April 1906 to the dissolution of the 4th after the February Revolution of 1917. From the position of the past years, she poses difficult questions and tries to answer them herself. Why did the first experience of parliamentarism in the history of Russia fail? What is the measure of responsibility of cadet leaders for the failure of liberal democratic reforms? Were the February and October revolutions inevitable and justified? In part, the answers suggest political portraits of representatives of the brilliant galaxy of Russian liberal reformers of that time: B. Maklakov, S. Muromtsev, P. Truve, D. Shakhovsky, A. Shingarev and many others with whom A. Tyrkov-Williams associated the common struggle for the liberation of Russia.
