Serbian parliamentary of 1889-1893 in the reflection of the Russian public
Abstract
The work is devoted to the description of the events in which in 1889-1893 the development of the parliamentary system of Serbia and the analysis of these events by Russian public opinion took place. The key problem that complicated this process was the different interpretations of the relationship of the constitutional provisions to the functions of state power, which was particularly reflected in the Russian press. These differences led to directly opposite political concepts: the ruling monarchical circles supported a centralized state, a constitutional monarchy in which the monarch unites the Executive and legislative power. Supporters of the Radical party, who at that time were the leading political force, sought to create a state through decentralization and redistribution of power in favor of political parties. At the same time, the authors note the failure and immaturity of the monarchical power in Serbia and its dependence on various groups, most of which had a clearly expressed foreign policy orientation. The modern Russian press mainly shifted all responsibility for the vicious constitutional development to the monarchs, that is, the Obrenovich dynasty. In fact, along with their undisputed responsibility, there were a number of other factors that the authors were trying to understand.
