The author presents a history of Russian social and intellectual trends from the 1880s through the 1910s which he argues will eventually justify Joseph Stalin's use of Siberian labor camps. Russian liberals of the period studied trends of criminals and criminal activity from a social, psychological, and philosophical view. The ideas of author Vladimir Mikhnevich, psychiatrist Vladimir Bekhterev, and criminologist Dmitrii Dril' are discussed.
