The Tsar's colonels
professionalism, strategy, and subversion in late Imperial Russia
by David Alan Rich
In this study, David Rich demonstrates how the modernization of Russia's general staff during the second half of the nineteenth century reshaped its intellectual and strategic outlook and equipped the staff to play a strong, and at times dominant, role in shaping Russian foreign policy.

Work Description
"The Tsar's Colonels" weaves together several levels of narrative to show how the increasingly sophisticated, scientific and positivistic work attitudes and habits of the Russian general staff acculturated younger officers, redefining their relationship with and responsibilities to the state. In time, this new generation of officers projected their characteristic notions onto the state and onto autocracy itself; professional concern for the security of the state eclipsed traditional unquestioning loyalty to the regime.
