Introduction: Socialist Humanitarianism
This special issue places the socialist world at the centre of the modern history of humanitarianism. The contributions bring together a wide range of perspectives to explore the meaning, purpose, and practices of socialist humanitarianism at different scales and across continents. Closely examining practices and discourses from socialist contexts and actors across Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America expands definitions of humanitarian action,…
Exporting Socialist Health Care: Soviet Humanitarianism in the Global South
This article focuses on three Soviet Red Cross overseas hospitals to examine the contradictions and challenges of socialist humanitarianism in the context of the Cold War. The development of socialist humanitarianism in the Soviet context was part of the broader foreign policy reorientation away from isolationism and towards robust internationalist engagement after the death of Iosif Stalin. Healthcare assistance was an integral component of this…
Between Moscow and Geneva: The Soviet Red Cross and the International Red Cross Movement
In the decades after the death of Iosif Stalin in 1953, Soviet foreign policy shifted away from isolationism to knowledge transfer and competition with the West, as well as robust engagement with the decolonising and non-aligned world. A core component of this reorientation was the reversal of the USSR’s temporary withdrawal from international organisations. This article explores the Soviet Red Cross’s involvement in the League of Red Cross Socie…
Aids and the End of the Soviet Union
In the mid-1980s, HIV and AIDS were initially dismissed in the Soviet press as infections that could only be contracted by individuals engaged in 'deviant' or 'promiscuous' sexual behaviour. However, in late 1988 a different narrative took hold when the mass nosocomial infection of children occurred in hospitals in Elista, Volgograd and Rostov-on-Don. These tragedies - and the Soviet government's lack of action in their aftermath - crystallized t…

The Demands of the Disabled: Masculinity, Disability, and Citizenship in the Late Imperial Russian Military
In the years after 1905, catastrophic war, widespread political and social unrest, and rising demands from across all segments of the empire’s population forced the Russian imperial state to develop a rudimentary social contract with military personnel and implement a series of reforms to prevent the reoccurrence of military disaster and mass social unrest. These reforms entitled disabled veterans to some forms of state support that were denied t…
Masculinity and (Hetero)Sexuality in the Late Imperial Russian Military
This article examines how sexual health became an important component of ideal military masculinity in the final decades of the Russian Empire. Rising rates of venereal diseases (VD) in the military in the final years of the nineteenth century forced the Russian imperial state to increasingly turn their attention to the sexual health and hygienic habits of military personnel. State officials enlisted the help of military physicians, who prepared …
Selling sex under socialism: Prostitution in the post-war USSR
The existence of prostitution was embarrassing for the Soviet government. This was especially true after the end of the Second World War and the death of Josef Stalin, when the Cold War and global processes of decolonization were in full swing and the USSR competed for the supremacy of its version of state socialism on the world stage. Soviet officials claimed that social ills that plagued capitalist countries, like prostitution, did not exist in…
Introduction: Prostitution in twentieth century Europe
Despite the proliferation of diverse historical research on commercial sex in recent years and the recognition of the continued political salience of the topic, prostitution has remained on the margins of the historiography of Europe. This special issue seeks to shift prostitution into the very centre of European history. With its wide geographical focus from Italy to the USSR via Sweden, Germany, occupied Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, as well a…
Sanitising Sex in the USSR: State Approaches to Sexual Health in the Brezhnev Era
This article examines Soviet approaches to sexual health in the Brezhnev era (1964–1982), specifically venereal diseases (VD). After the death of Stalin, the Soviet leadership adopted new methods for regulating the behaviour of Soviet citizens based on collective adherence to specific moral codes. State ministries took tentative steps towards mass sex education. In the 1960s, the Soviet leadership relaunched the ‘struggle with VD’, a state-led ca…
Social Welfare Provision at the Imperial Edge: Single Mothers and Abandoned Children in the Late Russian Empire
This article looks to the societal and imperial margins to examine attitudes towards social welfare provision in the final decades of the Russian Empire. Drawing on archival material from the Empire's Estliand province (now northern Estonia), the article focuses on the self‐representation of single mothers and official discussions of abandoned children. Society was in flux in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as rapid industriali…
Public Health and Prostitution in Revolutionary Petrograd, 1917–1918
The February revolution of 1917 brought about the complete collapse of the tsarist autocracy and offered multiple possibilities for the reorganisation of society based on new principles of democracy, equality and citizenship. Amid societal reconfiguration, the tsarist system for the regulation of prostitution was repealed in July 1917. After this, the Provisional Government and later the Bolshevik Party looked for new methods to prevent the sprea…
An Erotic Revolution? Pornography in the Russian Empire, 1905–1914
An Erotic Revolution? Pornography in the Russian Empire, 1905-1914 the Empire's accelerated path towards "modernity", broadly defined as industrialization, urbanization, consumerism, and the development of mass communication.This argument situates the Russian example within wider scholarship on European trends in the dissemination and policing of pornography, and helps to shift historiography on pornography away from the Anglophone, Francophone, …
Crime and Punishment in Russia: A Comparative History from Peter the Great to Vladimir Putin, by Jonathan Daly
This is the latest in the new Bloomsbury History of Modern Russia series. Aimed at students, this series seeks to provide broad, thematic overviews of Russia from the eighteenth to the twenty-first centuries. Jonathan Daly’s offering focuses on the development of the Russian criminal justice system, paying attention to transformations in the law, prison conditions, and criminal investigative practices across three hundred years of Russian history…
Soviet Street Children and the Second World War: Welfare and Social Control under Stalin, by Olga Kucherenko
Soviet historians, journalists and educational specialists long repeated the triumphalist myth that the Soviet state was ‘unparalleled’ in its benevolent approach to child welfare during the Second World War. Olga Kucherenko challenges this assertion by focusing on the wartime experiences of street children, defined broadly as homeless (besprizornye) and unsupervised (beznadzornye) youth. The myth of unrivalled care for children was carefully con…
Sex on the Front: Prostitution and Venereal Disease in Russia’s First World War
Prostitution flourished during Russia's First World War. Mass mobilisation and the displacement of millions of the empire's population challenged the tsarist state's ability to control both the movement and bodies of those buying and selling sex. In light of this, military and medical authorities shifted their attention more directly onto regulating men's bodies. Wartime social turmoil also increased the visibility of prostitution, which saw many…
The ‘black spot’ on the Crimea: Venereal diseases in the Black Sea fleet in the 1920s
This article examines how high command in the Soviet Red Navy responded to reportedly high levels of venereal diseases in the Black Sea fleet in the mid-1920s. Illness in the fleet posed a threat to national security, especially during the first unstable decade of the Soviet Union’s existence. Naval command and the municipal authorities of the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (Crimean ASSR) targeted three main points for reform: the s…
