The man who would not be king
The Right Wing of the Polish emigration after1830 explained the disappearance of the Polish state in 1795 and the failure of their recent war against tsarist Russia by the absence of a strong leadership and, in particular, by the absence of a king and a hereditary monarchy. The most suitable candidate for king was Prince Adam Czartoryski, head of the right-wing emigration and a leader of the emigration as a whole. Czartoryski declined the title f…
The Politics of a Disillusioned Europe
History and Its “Losers”
This article considers the historiography of the British Jacobites and American loyalists. It argues that they have been treated unfairly by history. In short, their importance has been minimized out of regard for dominant narratives. The article looks at older and newer historical accounts that reinterpret events in 17th and 18th century Britain and in revolutionary America to give Jacobites and loyalists a fairer share in these events. In concl…

Bandera
This article examines the current heroization of Ukrainian nationalist leader, Stepan Bandera, as manifested in monuments and commemorative practices. It offers a topographic survey that reveals the extent and variety of modes of Bandera heroization. It examines the esthetic and historical controversies that surround Bandera memorialization. It enquires into the personal motivations and political strategies that underlie the effort to project the…
The antisemitism of Henry Wickham Steed
Henry Wickham Steed (1871–1956), then editor-in-chief of the London Times, adopted an ambiguous position with regard to The Protocols of the Elders of Zion when the tract first appeared in English in 1920. He neither endorsed nor rejected it but instead mused in the editorial pages of The Times about whether it might be authentic. The following year, when The Times correspondent in Istanbul brought out proof that The Protocols was a forgery, Stee…
The European Conceptual History Project (ECHP)
After a complex integration process which has taken more than half a century, most Europeans—and non-Europeans—no longer identify Europe with simply an economic common market; yet the final political status of the European Union is still an open question. In general, Europe is usually regarded as the birthplace of a set of values claiming universal validity and serving as the basic political reference for citizens and institutions throughout the …

Minority as inferiority
This article argues that minority rights developed as an indemnity offered to defeated parties. As a grudging and begrudged calculus of compensation, considered inadequate by the vanquished and offensive by the victors, minority rights have been unable to compete in terms of legitimacy with either an increasingly robust international human rights regime or with the right of national self-determination. After reviewing some explanations for the we…
Roma Nation? Competing Narratives of Nationhood
This article considers two alternative accounts of Romani ethnogenesis, an ethnic narrative exuding the romance of exoticism and a functional one underpinning the pathos of deprivation. Neither of these accounts conveys the specificity of the Romani condition which cannot be defined by mythical nomadic lifestyle, by the legal and political situation of an ethnic minority, or by social economic status. The article argues that the imbrication of th…
Maîtres à l’épée, Maîtres à danser, Maîtres à penser
Proceeding from Lord Acton's insight that "exile is the nursery of nationality," this paper examines a peculiar historical instance of dislocation as a relevant matrix for the articulation of national identity. I inquire into aspects of the elaboration of French national consciousness among French émigrés of the revolutionary period in Russia, approaching the subject at two levels: first, the maîtres à danser, the run-of-themill émigrés who aband…
Was Herder a Nationalist
This article re-examines Herder's status as one of the founders of nationalism in the light of both older and more recent literature. The article focuses specifically on Herder's position with regard to the classical nationalist thesis that state and nationality should be coterminous. It argues that a close reading of Herder's oft cited and most explicit statement apparently lending support to this thesis has been misunderstood. The existing lite…
Searching for the perfect nation
The ‘Hans Kohn Dichotomy’, i.e. the distinction between ‘Western’ and ‘Non‐Western’ nationalism, remains one of the most persistent paradigms in the study of nationalism. This article deals briefly with the terms of Kohn's Dichotomy and with the discussion about it. The main purpose of the article, however, is to problematise the dichotomy in terms of Kohn's personal itinerary which took him from Prague to Russia, and from Britain and Palestine t…
Must Nations Become States
A world in which every nation has become a state, that is, a world in which cultural and political units coincide, would be a very different world from the one we know. There are now close to 200 political units recognized as states in the international system. Nations, understood as cultural units, are not as easily identified. Taking only language as a defining criterion, one could count some 6,000 linguistically defined groups. Many of these g…

Martov's last testament
This article takes issue with the view, most eloquently expressed by Israel Getzler in his classic biography, that the Menshevik leader I.O. Martov ‘wrote off the Russian Revolution shortly before his death in 1923 and abandoned his earlier position that the Revolution could still be ‘straightened out’. The article founds its case on a close reading of Martov's last writings and on an examination of the context in which the legend of Martov's ‘co…

Mensheviks Wage the Cold War
The tattered remnants of the exiled Menshevik party organization arrived in New York in 1940 from their previous French refuge. They brought with them their twenty-year-old journal, Sotsialisticheskii vestnik, their internal quarrels and many dashed hopes.1 Readily dismissed by US authorities as 'long forgotten in Russia and with no real roots in American society', they were not prepared to abandon their long struggle against bolshevism, although…
Citizenship East and West
The outcome of the political transition in Eastern Europe depends not only on the politics pursued but on the understanding of politics pursued but on the understanding of politics in the countries involved. This volume examines a key aspect of this understanding, the notion of ‘citizenship’ as it is being defined in Eastern Europe today. Formally, ‘citizenship’ refers to the criteria of membership in a political community. More broadly, it raise…

On the Origins of a Marxist Theory of Bureaucracy in the Critique of Hegel's “Philosophy of Right
HE FATE OF MARXISM today is almost invariably connected with the problem of bureaucracy. Clearly, the scope and nature of bureaucracy in socialist societies are a matter of concern both to those who live in and to those who write about these societies. Indeed, the notion of the bureaucracy as the class and, more specifically, the new ruling class has grown from the status of a metaphor to that of a thesis, on the right as well as the left. ' At t…
