Inside Lenin’s Government
Trial Run for Soviet Food Requisitioning
"A River that No One Can See"
Drawing from extant critical analyses of the sites of language production and reception, and the relationship of body to language and metaphor, this essay examines the way in which Stephen Kuusisto's poetry questions held notions of language and embodiment. In examining selections from his book of verse Only Bread, Only Light, as well as his works of non-fiction, the author analyzes Kuusisto's disruption of the boundaries where communication occu…
Bakhtin Contra Marx and Lenin
New Labor History
Unexpected consensus
This study analyses Russian society's responses to the April 1912 Lena Goldfields Massacre. Previous commentaries focused solely on workers' and socialists' reactions to the tragedy. Archival evidence, newspapers and memoirs utilised here indicate that the entire socio political spectrum condemned the government and the entrepreneurs. A pre‐existing society‐wide consensus argued that labourers deserved a better lot. This finding criticises the pr…

MICHAEL S. MELANCON (Auburn, AL, U.S.A.) FROM RHA PSOD Y TO THRENODY: RUSSIA'S PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT IN SOCIALIST-REVOLUTIONARY EYES, FEBRUARY-JULY 1917 In a 1993 article, I argued that resolutions of local soviets and other low- level bodies throughout 1917 contained language suggesting that large segments of the politically activized population took seriously the "provision- al" segment of the new government's title.1 They viewed it as caretak…

The Ninth Circle
Stretching out ahead a frigid wasteland,...so thick a sheet of ice as never locked the Don up in its frozen source"Dante, Inferno, Canto XXXII, "The Ninth Circle"On a wintry early April day, far out in the Lena River basin to the north of Lake Baikal, a file of workers some three thousand strong marched determinedly out of the deforested hills along a road toward a company settlement on the Bodaibo River. Most walked three or four abreast on a ro…

Russia Goes to the Polls
The Syntax of Soviet Power
During the last decade historians have considerably altered the landscape of our understanding of the February-October period of the revolution. By exploring the interaction between the mass elements of the Russian Empire's society and the revolutionary parties and institutions that strove to reconstruct the post-February Russian polity, a large group of scholars has established that Russia's lower orders were suspicious of dual power from the ou…
International women's day, the Finland station proclamation, and the February revolution
Marching Together
Russian socialists often used the slogan "vroz' idti, vmeste bit'," which signified that socialists should maintain separate party identities (march apart), but, if revolution approached, join together to deliver the coup de grace. Even in ordinary times, in tsarist Russia "marching apart" was a luxury revolutionaries could rarely afford. Of course, various parties and factions did not completely sacrifice their independence, but at all levels th…

The Socialist Revolutionaries From 1902 To 1907
Tradition has long held that the Socialist Revolutionary Party (PSR) was primarily peasant-oriented. Titles of important studies of the party suggest that the respective authors adhere to-the traditional view.1 Awareness of Socialist Revolutionary. (SR) successes among the peasantry in 1917, culminating in their sweep of provincial Russia in the Constituent Assembly elections in November, has heightened the perception of the SRs as a predominantl…
