Begging and lower-class giving in late Imperial Russia
Begging was everywhere in the late Russian Empire, and presents a distinctive case study for lower-class charitable giving. Unlike many Western European states at the turn of the twentieth century, Russia had no institutionalized social safety net. For most lower-class Russians, direct alms from other lower-class people were the only form of poor relief. This article shows that poverty in urban and rural spaces was entangled. As lower-class Russi…
Waiting to Die? Old Age in the Late Imperial Russian Village
What was daily life like for old people in Russian villages at the turn of the twentieth century? Elderly people feature as an integral part of Russian rural family life in literary and in scholarly accounts, and are predominantly framed as able, skilled, omniscient community members. This article suggests that constructions of old age that see the elderly retaining physical prowess and community leadership overlook the lived realities of ageing.…
Lower‐Class Reading in Late Imperial Russia
This article demonstrates widespread engagement of lower‐class people with the written word in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century Russian Empire, in rural and urban locales, in homes, workplaces, and social spaces. We explore how lower‐class people read: the daily habits, personal relationships, and social spaces that shaped engagement with texts, and especially collective reading, a widespread phenomenon that extended the reach of t…

A Prison Without Walls?
This work presents a snapshot of daily life for exiles and their dependents in eastern Siberia during the very last years of the Tsarist regime, from the 1905 revolution to the collapse of the Tsarist regime in 1917. It shows that, although exiles weren't closely monitored by the State, Siberian exile was still one of Russia's most feared punishments.
From Villains to Victims
This essay presents the subjective experience of life and sickness for the punished in late Imperial Siberia, and the distinctions the punished made between legitimate and illegitimate forms of punishment. The essay also explores state policies towards the sick punished, and explores how different levels of the Tsarist administration and local Siberian society dealt with the challenge of sick and decrepit exiles. It argues that conditions in Sibe…
The Search for Internal Enemies
The Russian Revolution
The rich historiography of the revolution has tended to focus around urban and political elites, labour history and events in Petrograd and to a lesser extent Moscow. The collapse of the Soviet Union opened previously inaccessible archives and shifted the ideological battlegrounds ranged over by scholars of the Russian revolution. New archivally based research is shifting its focus away from the capitals and political elites, and draws together s…
Talking to the People and Shaping Revolution
Women, Protest, and Revolution
This study explores the role and political impact of soldiers' wives in three Volga provinces of Russia: Nizhnii Novgorod, Kazan, and Tambov between February and October 1917. Despite relatively low levels of formal organization, soldiers' wives made a significant mark on revolutionary politics at a local level. Common grievances, which centred on the inadequacy of state support in the context of rising food prices and shortages, were the definin…
New Labor History
From saviour to Pariah
This article presents a detailed analysis of events in Cheboksary, a small town in Kazan guberniia, and the relative significance of the Bolshevik activist Karl Grasis. It demonstrates the complexities and local specificity of political behaviour, and the ephemeral nature of popular opinion. Cheboksary's extensive political turbulence was closely associated with popular concerns about the provisions situation; commentators overstated Grasis's rol…
