摘要

The tsarist regime under Alexander II enacted a series of 'Great Reforms' as an autocratic effort to foster modernity in the Russian Empire. Siberian Regionalism’s emergence revealed how the tsarist regime mingled reform with the desire to constrain Russia’s liberals. Eventually, the Russian government investigated the Regionalists’ ideas, and the resulting Siberian Separatist Affair saw the state label Regionalists as separatists who sought Siberia’s independence. Early Regionalism and the Siberian Separatist Affair show how the Great Reforms’ inherent limitations significantly weakened them, and the fate of the Siberian Regionalists constituted a microcosm of the reality Russia’s liberals faced as a conservative empire attempted to reform and modernize.
