Abstract
The transformation that is taking place in postcommunist Russia has stimulated professional and public interest in the history of Western and Russian liberalism. The defeat of communist doctrine and policies in Eastern Europe and the USSR has prompted an urgent need for a new system of worldviews in keeping with the transformation of the 1980s and 1990s. It is this, in particular, that accounts for the increased interest of professional social scientists, the scholarly community, and political elites in the values of liberalism—the basic ideology and politics of the leading Western European countries. At the same time, the latest publications play host to an ongoing debate (direct or indirect) over the historical fate and prospects of liberalism in today's Russia.
