Famine, Memory, and Politics in the Post-Soviet Space: Contrasting Echoes of Collectivization in Ukraine and Kazakhstan
Stalin’s collectivization campaigns and the associated famine killed millions in Ukraine and Kazakhstan, yet the two countries commemorate the events quite differently. In Ukraine, the Holodomor (death by hunger) occupies a prominent place in the public sphere and is remembered most frequently as a genocidal policy against the Ukrainian nation. In Kazakhstan, the famine takes up little space in the public arena, and officials remain reluctant to …
Organizing Civil Society in Russia and China: A Comparative Approach
The Ministry of Civil Society: The Public Chambers in the Regions
Putin created a new institution, the "public chamber," whose role would be to mediate state and society in Russia. The public chamber model has since been replicated across the country. The functioning and development of these public chambers will reveal whether the state can successfully fashion a civil society form appropriate to Russia's historical and cultural heritage
Putin and the Public Chamber
In 2004, Putin created a Public Chamber to enhance state-society dialogue and civilian oversight of the state system. Drawing on interviews with individuals active in Russian civil society or the foreign donor community, this article investigates the Public Chamber's role in legitimating Putin's regime. It examines the vision of state and civil society in the doctrine of "sovereign democracy"; Kremlin strategies for enforcing the narrow parameter…

Promoting Civil Society: Democracy Assistance and Russian Women’s Organizations
Foreign assistance has both helped and hurt the feminist movement in Russia. Women's groups have raised awareness of gender issues and domestic violence, but some Russians dismiss feminism as an alien philosophy imported from the West
Inside the Kremlin's Cold War: From Stalin to Khrushchev
Khrushchev's Double Bind: International Pressures and Domestic Coalition Politics
How do world leaders manage the competing priorities of maintaining support at home and credibility in the international arena? In Khrushchev's Double Bind James Richter explores this conflict by examining the case of Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. Richter argues that, in order to hold power and pursue his political agenda at home, Khrushchev needed to maintain his standing as an effective world leader. His successes - especially in winning con…
Re‐examining Soviet policy towards germany in 1953
AN OLD JOKE MADE THE POINT THAT the former Soviet Union was a country with an unpredictable past. The point remains valid, although now it pertains less to changing official versions of Soviet history than to popular and scholarly interpretations of the Soviet interlude in Russian history. As archives open, we should have a more accurate knowledge of things we could only speculate about before, and no doubt the end of the cold war will lead schol…
Perpetuating the Cold War: Domestic Sources of International Patterns of Behavior
The postwar international order has changed. As John Lewis Gaddis has emphasized, this order provided a long and relatively stable peace between the great powers.' But if the peace was long, one might also argue it was unnecessarily confrontational and costly. Through most of the period, both the United States and the Soviet governments regarded each other as essentially aggressive entities that understood only the language of strength. As a resu…
