Putins negative Ukrainepolitik
Putin’s statements on history are more than a soliloquy. Texts such as “On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians” serve to legitimize his rule and to canonize the Russian leadership’s image of the world. Putin repeats imperial visions of bygone times and merges them into a historical panorama. He does not see Ukraine as a sovereign nation-state, but as part of an “anti-Russia project” of the West, which is striving to undermine Moscow’s…

Frithjof Benjamin Schenk. Russlands Fahrt in die Moderne
The specificities of Russia’s path to modernity during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century have increasingly attracted historical research. Frithjof Benjamin Schenk’s study of Russian rail exemplifies this trend. The author connects a history of the railroad as a modern infrastructure with changing notions of space in the imperial realm. By using railroads as his focal point, Schenk analyzes the transformation of the empire as well as…
Races to Modernity
The comparative presentation of the birth of metropolises like St. Petersburg, Helsinki, Kiev, Belgrade, or Athens confirms the importance of the Western model as well as the influence of international experts on city planning at the periphery of Europe. In addition, this volume presents an alternative perspective that aims to understand the genesis of Eastern European cities with a metropolitan character or metropolitan aspirations as a process …
The Aggression Against Ukraine. Comments from a Historian’s Perspective
The eruption of armed conflict between Moscow and Kiev and the tension between Russia and the West has caused perplexity amongst politicians and commentators, some of whom took refuge in historical analogies. In Germany, state representatives were constantly dreading a "division of Europe" or a "new Cold War", the United States accused Moscow of 19 th century-style "great power politics", while Germany's post-communists as well as two former chan…
The Stalinist volonté générale
The essay examines the attempts of communist regimes to legitimize their states and analyzes them within the framework of European Staatswissenschaft of the time. The discussion of the construction of Soviet statehood is compared with the communist nation-states founded during and in the aftermath of WWII. The essay argues that Stalin abandoned Lenin’s revolutionary order for the introduction of a Stalinist volonté générale in the 1936 constituti…
Visions of civility
Using the writings of Lev N. Tolstoy and Jane Addams on Moscow and Chicago the essay explores the development of the idea of non-violent social change that was developed by both protagonists as a reaction to the social problems they encountered. It shows that central ideas about civility were developed on the periphery of the Western world – for example, in the Russian Empire – and had a strong impact in distant places where they were taken up an…

Nation and Empire
Introduction In 1944 Poland was re-established for the second time in the twentieth century. Between the Lublin manifesto of 22 July 1944 and the Potsdam conference of summer 1945 a communist-dominated regime had formed, which was had little in common with the Second Republic that had been founded between the declaration of independence on 9 November 1918 and the peace of Riga with Bolshevik Russia signed in March 1921. Post-war Poland was signif…
