Abstract
In relation to the history of freedom of expression in Russia, the eighteenth century falls into two distinct epochs, with the late 1760s as the dividing line between them. The first is the transitional period where new trends, set in motion by a drastic alteration of the existing system of values, are at work without, as yet, producing any appreciable changes; the second is one where the results of this process assume a definite shape. A similar chronological division applies, of course, to other sectors of Russian cultural life affected by “secularisation”. It can be seen as simply the time-lag between the major political and social upheaval and its consequences in the cultural field.
