Who Controls These Woods?’ Forests and Mnogovlastie in Smolensk in 1917
This article uses disputes over control of forests to explore the problem of mnogovlastie—the multiplicity of locations of power—in provincial Russia in 1917, based on events in Smolensk Province. It examines disputes between peasants and woodlot owners over forest resources and the political debates these engendered. It argues that competing claims to regulatory authority over forest resources accentuated the problem of mnogovlastie. Debates amo…

People With Pure Souls’
This article uses regional police and court records, as well as contemporary press reports, to examine young Jews’ participation in radical circles in a provincial city outside the Pale of Settlement. Although Soviet‐era publications obscured their activities, in Smolensk scores of young Jews joined radical circles and gravitated towards the PSR as well as the RSDLP in the period 1900–14. Extant sources say little regarding their personal motivat…
Moderate Socialists and the Politics of Crime in Revolutionary Smolensk
The Korean War
Paper, memory and a good story
Historical accounts and popular memory of the October Revolution in Smolensk are based upon a relatively small number of memoirs by local Bolsheviks who climbed the Soviet bureaucratic ladder in the 1920s. These functioned to create a myth‐history that legitimated Soviet rule and tied Smolensk's history into that of Petrograd. This shaping of the myth history, though, was also a consequence of shortages of ‘relevant’ documentation, contests over …

Discourses of Public Identity and Liberalism in the February Revolution
In recent articles, both Ronald Suny and Steve Smith ask that historians give heed to discourses shaping public identities and political dispositions during Russia's 1917 revolutions.1 Doing so, as Boris I. Kolonitskii has shown in Antibourgeois Propaganda and Anti-'Burzhui' Consciousness in 1917, can yield fresh perspectives on revolutionary politics and political cultures.2 In following essay, I analyze discourses of public identity in Smolensk…
Local Government and State Authority in the Provinces
In the last decade, state building and the problems of establishing state authority in the provinces in 1917 have begun to attract historians' attention. Several works by Russian authors treat state building under the Provisional Government, with emphasis upon organizational activities "at the center." Daniel T. Orlovsky and Howard J. White (with greater analytical rigor than their Russian counterparts) have studied the work of the Ministry of In…

Validation
The purpose of any training system or organisation is to produce a trained person who can successfully perform specific tasks in the workplace. If these tasks cannot be performed to a required standard, then the training has failed. In fact, the quality control process of ensuring that a particular course meets the job requirements, by investigating the trained person on the job, is arguably the most important phase in a training system. After al…
