Though the work began as a study of the Russian “intelligentsia,” Brower now avoids that term altogether, because of methodological problems and the confusion as to just what it means. “The word ‘radical’ may seem banal, but it identifies the political outlook of the people in question as that of extreme opposition to the established order of Russia” (p. 35).
