Abstract: Changing Russia is a non-fiction book written by Stephen Graham and first published in 1913. The book is a comprehensive account of the social and political changes taking place in Russia at the time. Graham, a British journalist and travel writer, spent several years traveling throughout Russia, meeting people from all walks of life and observing the country's transformation. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Russian society. Graham discusses the growing influence of the middle class, the role of the Orthodox Church, the state of education and literature, and the impact of industrialization on the country's economy. He also delves into the political landscape, examining the rise of revolutionary movements and the government's response to them. Throughout the book, Graham provides vivid descriptions of the people and places he encounters, painting a picture of a country on the brink of change. He also offers his own insights and opinions on the events he witnesses, making the book a compelling read for anyone interested in Russian history and culture. Changing Russia is an important historical document, providing a firsthand account of a pivotal moment in Russian history. It remains relevant today as a study of the social and political forces that shaped the country's past and continue to influence its present.
