  • The Russian Peasant Movement of 1905–7

    Maureen PerrieCHAPTERThe World of the Russian Peasant2023

    This chapter analyses the role of the social composition of the participants in the peasant movement, and the extent to which they were influenced by the revolutionary forces in the towns. In 1902, after the outbreaks of peasant unrest in Little Russia and of the Volga, the party formed its own Socialist Revolutionary Peasant Union, with the aim of organizing the peasantry on a political basis. The peasant movement of 1905–1907 was partly related…

  • Peter the Great as Antichrist

    Open AccessMaureen PerrieARTICLEQuaestio Rossica2021

    This article is devoted to an Old Believer work about Peter the Great, known as A Compilation from Holy Scripture about the Antichrist, which was first published in 1861. Some scholars have suggested that the work dates back to Peter’s reign, when many traditionally minded Orthodox Christians regarded the tsar as the Antichrist. The author of this article argues, however, that the work dates from the early nineteenth century, and that the case it…

  • The Oprichnina as a Carnival of Violence

    Maureen PerrieARTICLERussian History2020

    This essay takes issue with Charles Halperin’s assertion, in his book on Ivan the Terrible, that the state terror imposed by the tsar in the period of the oprichnina bore no relation to the concept of carnival employed by Mikhail Bakhtin. The reviewer argues that, on the contrary, Ivan’s behaviour was heavily influenced by aspects of the “comic world” of early Rus’ identified by D.S. Likhachev and A.M. Panchenko as the Muscovite equivalent of the…

  • The Russian Empire, 1450–1801, by Nancy Shields Kollmann

    Open AccessMaureen PerrieARTICLEThe English Historical Review2018

    The Russian empire is normally considered to have been instituted in 1721, when Peter the Great declared himself Emperor (imperator). Sometimes the start of the empire is back-dated to 1700, the outbreak of the Great Northern War, as it was Russia’s triumph in that war which inspired Peter to claim an imperial title. Some historians have dated the beginning of a Russian empire to 1552, when Muscovy conquered the Tatar khanate of Kazan, on the Riv…

  • The Old Believers and Praying for the Tsar in Seventeenth-Century Russia

    Maureen PerrieARTICLEThe Slavonic and East European…2016Cited by: 1

    The article argues that for many Old Believers in seventeenth-century Russia ‘non-praying ( nemolenie ) for the tsar took the form of omitting the commemoration of the royal family at the ‘Great Entrance in the liturgy of the eucharist that had been introduced in the new (Nikonian) service-books of the 1650s. This was a protest against the liturgical reforms, and also a symbolic criticism of the tsars and the policies of their governments. It is …

  • From Poetry to Peasantry

    Open AccessMaureen PerrieARTICLEQuaestio Rossica2015

    The Editorial Board of the journal is rightly proud that it managed to persuade Professor Maureen Perrie, the eminent British historian of Russia, to write this memoir, intriguingly entitled ‘From Poetry to Peasantry: my Early Adventures in Russian Studies’. The memoir is written with such candour, and in such a lively and entertaining style, that its appeal will extend beyond specialists in the humanities. The reader is presented with a portrait…

  • Moscow in 1666

    Open AccessMaureen PerrieARTICLEQuaestio Rossica2014

    In this essay the author examines the disappearance from official Russian discourse of the idea of Muscovy as the New Israel. She suggests that it may partly be explained in relation to his opponents’ accusations of blasphemy against Patriarch Nikon for naming his monastery on the River Istra as New Jerusalem. These accusations were made in the context of apocalyptic rumours about Nikon as the Antichrist, and about the imminent appearance of the …

  • The First English History of the Russian Time of Troubles

    Maureen PerrieARTICLECanadian-American Slavic Studies2014

    Samuel Purchas’s Hakluytus Posthumus , first published in 1625, is a collection of travel accounts similar to that edited by Richard Hakluyt in the late sixteenth century, but it also includes the earliest secondary history of the Time of Troubles in English. Purchas’s chapter entitled “The late changes and manifold alterations in Russia since Ivan Vasilowich to this present ...” combines documentary publication with narrative history. This artic…

  • The Tsaritsa, the Needlewomen and the Witches

    Maureen PerrieARTICLERussian History2013

    This article focuses on the 1639 case of Dar’ia Lamanova, a needlewoman in the Kremlin sewing-room, who was accused of trying to harm Tsaritsa Evdokiia Luk’ianova by sprinkling the ashes of her burnt shirt-collar in a corridor where the tsaritsa regularly walked. It was suspected that Dar’ia’s actions had brought about the deaths of five-year-old Tsarevich Ivan in January 1639, and of his new-born brother Vasilii in March, but she was found guilt…

  • I.V. Kurukin, A.B. Plotnikov, 19 janvarja – 25 fevralja 1730 goda

    Dmitry Redin, Maureen Perrie et al.EDITORARTICLECahiers du monde russe2011

    What happened in Russia in January-February 1730? It is absolutely clear that neither for the readers nor for the authors is the issue simply one of reconstructing the course of events. The attempt by a group of imperial dignitaries to establish a limited monarchical regime during the interregnum; the difficult and in many ways enforced dialogue between the verkhovniki (the members of the Supreme Privy Council) and the shljakhetstvo (the nobility…

  • Popular revolts

    Open AccessMaureen PerrieCHAPTERThe Cambridge history of Russia2006

    This chapter provides a chronological overview of the popular revolts, and examines the social composition of their participants. It considers the aims and demands they embodied, within the common framework of rebellions in the name of the tsar. In some cases the revolts in provincial towns were triggered by news of the events in Moscow. The social composition of the revolt was fairly heterogeneous, including representatives of relatively privile…
