Muscovite Claims to Rus Lands (1377–1700)
Muscovite princes like other medieval princes used the past to legitimize their policies. Their chroniclers traced Muscovy’s origins to the once metropole Kyiv according to the medieval logic of translatio imperii . After 1800, unlike their European counterparts, Russian historians did not dispense with medieval stories finally formulated by the mid 1500s, about their country. They still linked Moscow to Kyiv repeating an inherited tale about a s…
Life and Death in Revolutionary Ukraine
Between 1917 and 1923, invasion, revolution, war, and grim living conditions claimed unimaginable numbers of Ukrainian lives. Velychenko examines the social background to the political history of revolutionary Ukraine, documenting the country's demographic losses during the Ukrainian and Russian revolutions.
Propaganda in Revolutionary Ukraine
This book is a survey of domestic governmental and party printed propaganda in revolutionary Ukraine. It is based on an illustrative sample of leaflets, pamphlets, and cartoons published by different parties and governments between 1917 and 1922.
Ukraine, the EU and Russia
Bureaucrats and Revolutionary State-Building in Ireland and Russia. Was Weber Right
Weber argued that bureaucrats serve whoever holds power even in the case of revolution or enemy occupation because they are more concerned with their jobs, salaries and pensions than with political ideas. His hypothesis has yet to be satisfactorily tested, however, and any such project would have to include all states that emerged from revolutions. As a contribution towards such an examination this paper reviews state building in nationalist Irel…
Accroître ou réduire ? L'administration des États successeurs de l'URSS
His quantitative study suggests that a large central administration was a missing element of modernity in this part of the world. Aggregate totals and ratios of central government administrators, soldiers and police in relation to the population in the Tsarist Empire and the USSR are compared with those from selected western European national states and empires. From 1897 to 1991, Russian ruled Eurasia had fewer administrators per capita than Eur…
Empire Loyalism and Minority Nationalism in Great Britain and Imperial Russia, 1707 to 1914
In 1812 a Russian army inflicted two decisive defeats on the Persian army. The resulting Treaty of Gulistan shifted tsarist borders 250 miles south and secured Russian control over Georgia and the Caspian Sea littoral. The commanding general, Piotr Kotliarevsky, received a second St. George Cross (the equivalent of the Victoria Cross) for this accomplishment-wounded in the battle, surgeons removed forty pieces of bone from his skull to save his l…
National History as Cultural Process
Ukraine and Russia in Their Historical Encounter
Identities, Loyalties and Service in Imperial Russia
It is from men who either hold or are eligible for public life that nations take their character; where no such men exist, there can be no energy in any other class of community. No elevation of character can be expected among men . . . who in the civil line can hope for nothing beyond some petty judicial or revenue office in which they may by corrupt means make up for their slender salary. -Sir Thomas Munroe
Restructuring and the Non-Russian Past
The official interpretation of the histories of the nations of the USSR emerged between 1934 and 1953 on the basis of decrees signed by Stalin and/or the Central Committee. This interpretation subsumes the histories of the non-Russian Republics within the “history of the USSR” that begins not in 1917 or 1922 in Moscow, but in prehistoric Asia. The official view recognized the non-Russian nations and republics as separate historical entities, yet …
