Abstract

Max Weber was prescient when he wrote in 1905 about the prospects for the 300-year-old Romanov dynasty in Russia: “Only in the tragic event of a European war would the autocracy finally be destroyed.” Weber wasn’t the first to speculate on how a war of such magnitude and developments in Russia could be interrelated. Frederick Engels raised that possibility in 1888: “revolution in Russia at this moment would save Europe from the horrors of a general war and would usher in universal social revolution.”
