- Summary:
- "This never-before published work by Russian diplomat Aleksei Evstaf'ev (1783-1857) presents an argument against American democracy and Alexis de Tocqueville's acclaimed "Democracy in America." Consisting of a comparison between the autocracy of Russia, the constitutional monarchy of Great Britain, and the democracy of America, the book advocates for the middle term as the ideal system, combining the best of both worlds"-- Provided by publisher.
