Years: 1780 - 1791

The intellectual westernization of Russia's elite continues during Catherine's reign.

An increase in the number of books and periodicals also brings forth intellectual debates and social criticism.

In 1790 Aleksandr Radishchev publishes his Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow, a fierce attack on serfdom and the autocracy.

Catherine, already frightened by the French Revolution, has Radishchev arrested and banished to Siberia.

Radishchev is later recognized as the father of Russian radicalism.
