Karl Schlögel. Das sowjetische Jahrhundert: Archäologie einer untergegangenen Welt
Karl Schlögel is unique among German Russianists. He writes in a way that is accessible, elegant, and enjoys a wide readership, not only in Germany—his 2012 Moscow, 1937 became an English best seller as well. While his kind of history writing was derided by colleagues as essayistisch during the heyday of social history, today it is a kind of brand, and one that continues to feel fresh because it anticipated changing reading habits. Das sowjetisch…
Sounds of February, Smells of October: The Russian Revolution as Sensory Experience
Temporally speaking, the Russian Revolution of 1917 was not a news item, not even a rumor, but first and foremost a novel sensory impression-gunshots with live ammunition from unusual places, the smell of burnt police files. This article explores the sensory history of the revolution through ego-documents like diaries and memoirs. It tracks in detail how people of various backgrounds in Petrograd and Moscow lived the olfactory class struggles aft…

AHR Conversation: The Historical Study of Emotions
In the past few years, the AHR has published five “Conversations,” each on a subject of interest to a wide range of historians: “On Transnational History” (2006), “Religious Identities and Violence” (2007), “Environmental Historians and Environmental Crisis” (2008), “Historians and the Study of Material Culture” (2009), and “Historical Perspectives on the Circulation of Information” (2011). For each the process has been the same: the Editor conve…

The History of Emotions: An Interview With William Reddy, Barbara Rosenwein, and Peter Stearns
The history of emotions is a burgeoning field-so much so, that some are invoking an "emotional turn." As a way of charting this development, I have interviewed three of the leading practitioners of the history of emotions: William Reddy, Barbara Rosenwein, and Peter Stearns. The interviews retrace each historian's intellectual-biographical path to the history of emotions, recapitulate key concepts, and critically discuss the limitations of the av…
Soldatische Angst im Ersten Weltkrieg: Die Karriere eines Gefühls in der Kriegspsychiatrie Deutschlands, Frankreichs und Russlands
Fear: Soldiers and Emotion in Early Twentieth-Century Russian Military Psychology
This article provides an analysis of the locus of fear in military psychology in late imperial Russia. After the Russo-Japanese War and the 1905 Revolution, the debate coalesced around two poles: "realists" (such as the military psychiatrist Grigorii Shumkov) argued that fear was natural, while "romantics" upheld the image of constitutionally fearless soldiers. Jan Plamper begins by identifying the advent of modern warfare (foreshadowed by the Cr…
Foucault's Gulag
On the evening of 21 June 1977, while French President Giscard d'Estaing was toasting the General Secretary of the CPSU and State President of the Soviet Union, Leonid Brezhnev, on the occasion of Brezhnev's first visit to France, an odd mix of people embarked upon a curious counter-celebration. At the small Théâtre Récamier a group of French intellectuals and Soviet dissidents gathered to stage a symbolic protest against what they saw as a polit…

The Russian Orthodox Episcopate, 1721-1917: A Prosopography
This collective biography of the 731 Russian Orthodox bishops consecrated between 1721 and 1917 explores the episcopate's regional and social origins, education, and career patterns and compares these with other European ecclesiastical elites. Apart from supplying extensive data on the Russian Orthodox episcopate, the article finds that by the end of the eighteenth century the regional heritage of a bishop ceased playing a role in shaping his ide…
