To tame their ferocious character”: The noble cadet corps, École royale militaire, and the circulation of educational models in eighteenth-century Europe
The article explores what is probably the earliest known episode when French eighteenth-century actors held up an educational model borrowed from Russia as an example, rather than the other way around. It focuses on a memorandum presented to Louis XV by Joseph Pâris-Duverney, the founder of École royale militaire in Paris, in which the author sets up the Noble Land Cadet Corps established in St. Petersburg in 1731 as the model for the new French …
Literacy and education among the nobility in post-Petrine Russia
Educational reforms and introduction of compulsory schooling for nobility are rightly counted among the most important changes introduced by Peter I in Russia. This article employs a large sample of records from the Heraldry, a government agency in charge of registering nobles for their mandatory service, to assess the spread of literacy among the first post-Petrine generation of the Russian elite and to explore the factors that affected one’s li…
The Enterprisers: The Politics of School in Early Modern Russia
The Enterprisers traces the emergence of “modern” school in Russia during the reigns of Peter I and his immediate successors, up to the accession of Catherine II. The efforts to “educate” Russia represent a trademark of Peter I’s reign and reformist program, and innovations in schooling in Russia in the eighteenth century have traditionally been presented as a top-down, state-driven process. As with many other facets of the emerging early modern …
Enterprisers: The Politics of School in Early Modern Russia
The Fops, the Favorites, and Other Reformers of the Service Schools, 1740s–1760s
The evolution of schools in the 1740s–1750s, just as in earlier periods, was driven primarily by the ambitions and political agendas of enterprising officials, rather than by any abstract “state policy.” This chapter focuses on the transformation of the Naval Academy and the Navigation School, amalgamated in the early 1750s into a Naval Cadet Corps, and on the attempts to reforms the technical schools. The latter are set in the context of the pro…
Drinking Diplomacy: The St. Petersburg ‘Ordre des Antisobres’ and Fraternal Culture among European Envoys in Early Imperial Russia
Early in 1728, in St. Petersburg, Russia, the Duke of Liria—a Spanish diplomat, prominent Jacobite, and an illegitimate grandson of James II—sought to establish a curiously-titled fraternity called the ‘Order of the Anti-Sober’. Using the surviving charter of the proposed fraternal order as a point of departure, this article reconstructs the context and the meaning of Liria’s initiative. While drinking has traditionally been associated with Russi…
Lost in Translation: Trediakovskii's Journey to the Island of Love and Its Courtly Context
Vasilii Trediakovskii's Journey to the Island of Love occupies a special place in the history of Russian literature: it is often credited with creating a new vocabulary of love and amorous intercourse, an innovation that would pave the way for much of the poetry and prose of the eighteenth century. This article explores the actual courtly context in which this work was introduced to its Russian readers. The reconstruction of the amorous practices…
Extralegal payments to state officials in Russia, 1750s-1830s: Assessing the Burden of Corruption
This article uses the records of expenditures from a set of estates that belonged to the Golitsyn family to assess the level of 'routine corruption' in Imperial Russia in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The data from these books allow us to identify individual cases of unofficial facilitation payments made by the estates and by peasant communes to district-level officials; to delimit key types of payment situations; and to cal…
Shaping Up the Stubborn: School Building and “Discipline” in Early Modern Russia
This article uses the genealogy of school building in Russian school as a lens to explores the articulation of “disciplinary” sensibilities and practices in the empire in the first half of the eighteenth century. While in pre‐Petrine and Petrine Russia school building as an instrument of control over students remained unarticulated and “invisible” to policymakers, by the time of Catherine II’s accession it was perceived as a tool of power central…
Westernizations' from Peter I to Meiji: War, Political Competition, and Institutional Change
Sex in the City that Peter Built: The Demimonde and Sociability in Mid-Eighteenth Century St. Petersburg
This article uses the materials of the Drezdensha affair, a large-scale investigation of "indecency" in St. Petersburg in 1750, to explore unofficial sociability among the Imperial elite, and to map out the institutional, social, and economic dimensions of the post-Petrine "sexual underworld." Sociability and, ultimately, the public sphere in eighteenth century Russia are usually associated with loftier practices, with joining the ranks of the re…
Cultural Capital and Education in St. Petersburg: The Noble Cadet Corps, 1732–1762
Two types of proxy indicators—father’s type of service to the state and previous exposure to Western learning—can help to assess the role that cultural capital played in the rank at which cadets graduated from the elite Noble Land Cadet Corps in post-Petrine Russia. The results suggest that even in the post-Petrine period, despite its overall institutional weakness, a framework that rewarded “Westernized” culture was still possible. Moreover, thi…
Nobility and Schooling in Russia, 1700s–1760s: Choices in a Social Context
This article explores the role of formal schooling in the social mobility and social reproduction of the elite in the early modern context of post-Petrine Russia. An analysis of career and educational choices made by Russian nobles in the 1730s–1740s and recorded in the registers of the Heraldry and petitions for enrolment into the Noble Land Cadet Corps demonstrate that the members of the post-Petrine elite had very clear preferences regarding t…
For love and fatherland: Political clientage and the Origins of Russia’s first female order of chivalry
Cet article décrit les origines et la portée politique de l’ordre de Sainte-Catherine ou de la Délivrance, le second ordre de chevalerie du système honorifique russe à avoir été mis en place sous le règne de Pierre le Grand, et le premier ordre monarchique russe à disposer de ses propres statuts et à être exclusivement réservé aux femmes. La fondation de l’ordre de Sainte-Catherine a traditionnellement été décrite comme un projet mené par le tsar…
