The Martyr Cult of Grand Duke Sergei Aleksandrovich
This article explores the creation of a martyr cult which followed the assassination of Grand Duke Sergei, uncle to tsar Nicholas II, murdered by a terrorist from the Socialist Revolutionary party in February 1905. The article contests that voices sympathetic to Russian autocracy tried to inculcate broader public support for the tsarist cause by presenting the slain Grand Duke as a suffering martyr, victim and altruist who had in his lifetime bee…

Familiar Strangers: The Georgian Diaspora and the Evolution of Soviet Empire, by Erik R. Scott
Erik R. Scott’s illuminating study of the Georgian ‘internal diaspora’ in the Soviet Union has three stated aims. First, it is a consideration of the Soviet Union as an empire of diasporas and related processes concerning internal mobility; second, it considers the Georgian people as ‘familiar strangers’, at once different from other Soviet peoples and thus readily identifiable; finally, it is also a study of ‘domestic internationalism’, of popul…
Russia in Revolution: An Empire in Crisis, 1890–1928, by S.A. Smith
The centenary of the Russian Revolution has, perhaps rather inevitably, invited a wave of new books on the subject, some of them containing much novel material for those engaged at the cutting edge of historical research, with others aimed at a more general readership. S.A. Smith’s contribution to the debate bridges a divide between specialist academic monographs and studies of the Revolution designed to engage a wide audience, with the book ‘pri…

Women, Nationalism and the Russian Right (1905–1917)
This essay examines the activity of women in the Russian organized right between 1905 and 1917. It is particularly concerned with the scale of the female membership of the right-wing movement, and their connection to philanthropic and political roles. It examines the backgrounds of the women who joined the movement, the type of the activities that they became involved in, and where these women’s clubs fitted into the social mission of the Russian…

Revolt from the Right: Russia’s Right-Wing Students Between Conservatism and Radicalism
The article examines the Academist movement between 1900 and 1914 – the student branches of a number of right-wing groups that emerged in the Russian Empire between 1900 and 1905 and endured throughout the late imperial period. It will argue that these groups arose separately from the Russian autocracy, and formed part of an independent, ‘right-wing’ approach to the problems facing Russian society in the late imperial period. It is particularly c…
Cultivating the ‘Aristocracy of the Spirit’: The Sokol Movement in Late Imperial Russia
This article examines the Sokol movement in late imperial Russia. Focusing on 1909–14, the peak years of activity, it draws on a range of untapped sources to examine how the movement's leaders merged nationalist ideas with a growing public interest in health and physical recreation. The article surveys the domestic development of the Russian Sokol, and then its involvement in the international activities of the movement, particularly after the ap…

Practicing Stalinism: Bolsheviks, Boyars, and the Persistence of Tradition, J. Arch Getty
In this lively and stimulating work, J. Arch Getty explores the unspoken connections and patronage networks that lie at the heart of Russian politics. Getty contests that ‘deep structures’—the informal, the personal and the arbitrary—have been at the centre of Russian governance for several centuries. Thus, though this work largely focuses on the Stalinist 1930s, it draws a number of connections between different periods in history. In keeping wi…

Rightist Ritual, Memory and Identity Commemoration in Late Imperial Russia
This article explores how Russia's right-wing groups drew upon concepts of memory and identity commemoration to inform their ritual practices. Their creation of various memorials, celebrations and cults represented a synthesis between conservative values of Orthodoxy, autocracy and Russian nationality, and a populist nationalist appeal that came to define the ideology and practice of the Russian ultra-right in the final years of tsarism. The anal…
