Recenzii
Henderson's unapologetic treatment of Burtsev contributes to our awareness of global revolutionary networks in the early twentieth century.
Henderson's unique volume about the perennial revolutionary Vladimir L. Burtsev (1862-1942) is superlative because he uses his extraordinary research skills to cull Russian and foreign archives to trace Burtsev's efforts against tsarism, Alexander Kerensky, Bolshevism (Lenin/Trotsky) and, finally, Hitler and anti-Semitism . Henderson (Queen Mary, Univ. of London) is to be commended for his serious scholarship in bringing to life a formidable revolutionary who, whether targeting tsarist or Bolshevik opponents, proved a worthy and effective adversary. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.
A truly impressive work of original and seminal scholarship, Vladimir Burtsev and the Struggle for a Free Russia is a critically important study that will be appreciated by all historians of modern Russia and the Russian Revolution upon which it is based . [An] unreservedly recommended addition to college and university library Russian History and Russian Biography collections.
Henderson's book sets a very high standard, it reminds scholars that not only is it possible to write important and captivating histories about lesserknown subjects but that it is necessary. Excellent notes and bibliography make this a valuable book for specialists in Russian history, but anyone interested in historical biographies in general will find this study extremely informative and stimulating.
Henderson has carried out an impressive amount of research in secondary sources, published primary sources, and archives in France, the United States, Great Britain, the Netherlands, and Russia (including Tatarstan).
Robert Henderson's biography of Vladimir Burtsev is, quite simply, superb. The research is excellent and the writing is splendid. In Henderson's skilled hands, the story of Burtsev - revolutionary, detective, and freedom-fighter - is in turn chilling, comic, and tragic, but always compelling. Henderson gives us new insight into the history of the Russian revolutionary movement and the machinations of the tsarist and Soviet secret police. This book deserves a wide audience. Once started, it is difficult to put down.
Vladimir Burtsev is one of the unsung heroes of the anti-tsarist revolutionary movement - a man who did more than anyone else to expose police informers to the light of day. Robert Henderson has performed a service for historical scholarship.
This portrayal of the radical milieu among émigré Russians adds up to an excellent political study of the Russian revolution abroad, especially in London. At times the story has the suspense and complexity of the Victorian crime novel. This is a superb piece of original research and a readable and stimulating book.
Vladimir Burtsev and the Struggle for a Free Russia is the first comprehensive biography of the fascinating and profoundly naïve Russian that Burtsev was. It offers an insight into the murky world of terrorism, state security, media (ab)use and (post-)truth around 1900, and as such raises the question, whether history repeats itself, or whether we can learn from history. Henderson's book won't give you the final answer to these questions, but will offer you a broader perspective, on the past, as well as on the present.
This is a superb and wide-ranging book that deserves an equally wide readership. There is something for everyone in it, since it can be read both as a conventional historical biography and in terms of the various discreet topics upon which it touches. It should be read by all those interested in the history of late-imperial Russia, but will be especially valuable for students of the revolutionary movement and emigration.

It uses Burtsev as a means to discuss topics such as European police collaboration, European prison systems, international diplomatic relations of the time and Russia's relationship with Europe specifically. Extensive original archival research and previously untranslated Russian source material is also incorporated throughout the text.This is an important study for all historians of modern Russia and the Russian Revolution.
