Historian Boris Kipnis is back on CI with a fascinating lecture about the author of the great work "Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow" Alexander Radishchev. One evening, Empress Catherine II was brought a new literary work. She read it, saw sedition and called the author "a rebel, worse than Pugachev." Radishchev's views and worldview were formed by the liberal period of the Empress's reign, but by the end of her reign, Catherine's assessment of reality had changed... Who was Radishchev in reality - a progressive thinker or a troublemaker? In what psychological state did he write "Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow"? What external factors influenced the change in Catherine II's attitude to reality? How did the great Radishchev live and how did he end his earthly journey? This and more - in the new video on "Digital History".
