Bolshevising the Borderlands
The career of the Soviet statesman and leading ideologue Mikhail Andreevich Suslov remains relatively understudied, a lacunae which a forthcoming archive-based biography seeks to correct.Amongst the many neglected aspects of his career, his role in Lithuania between 1944 and 1946 has received relatively little scholarly attention, beyond repeating popular dissident accounts of his malign role as an oppressor.This essay revises this popular accoun…
A theoretical conceptualisation of connection to culture in Australian First Peoples children
Connection to culture in Australian First Peoples children is an important social determinant of health in child development and wellbeing. The current study draws upon the collective knowledge of Australian First Peoples Elders and community leaders to collaboratively develop the first theoretical conceptualisation of connection to culture in Australian First Peoples children. Through participatory action research, we integrated both Western and…
Missionaries of modernity. Advisory missions and the struggle for hegemony in Afghanistan and beyond
The ‘great turn’ in new studies of Western counter-insurgency policies and practices first inaugurated by the US troop surge to Iraq in 2007, accompanied as it was at the time by the publication of
The Russian Army in the Great War
From civil war to proxy war
The use of surrogate or ‘proxy’ actors within the context of ‘irregular’ or guerrilla conflict within or between states constitutes a phenomenon spanning nearly the whole of recorded human military history. Yet it is a phenomenon that has also acquired urgent contemporary relevance in the light of the general evolution of conflict in Ukraine and the current Middle East. This introduction to a special issue on the theme investigates some potential…
What counts as language in South African schooling
This paper focuses on the lack of impact on language education of recent paradigm shifts in the study of language and society such as the recognition of the ideology of language[s] as stable, discrete or bounded entities and the reality of heteroglossic languaging and semiotic practices in everyday life. Using South Africa as a case, the paper explores the implications of heteroglossic conceptualising of language as social practice for language e…

Lenin'sImperialismNearly 100 Years on
Lenin's Imperialism. The Highest Stage of Capitalism formed part of the canon of mainstream Marxist writing for much of the 20th century, and also represented a critical reference point for Marxist attempts to interpret international relations for much of the same period. At one and the same time both a stinging condemnation of the betrayal of the European working class by their political leaders in 1914, and a synthesis, with some original eleme…

All the Tsar's Men
Imperial nostalgia, the liberal lie, and the perils of postmodern counterinsurgency
Since 9/11, counterinsurgency is back in fashion; the ‘war on terror’ has even been branded a ‘global counterinsurgency’. However the context within which counterinsurgency originally arose is critical to understanding the prospects for its present success; the radically changed environment in which it is currently being conducted casts into considerable doubt the validity of the doctrine's application by many national militaries currently ‘redis…
The Terek People’s Republic, 1918
In recent years, studies of the Russian Revolution have become increasingly nuanced, often on the basis of recently opened regional archives. Nonetheless more work remains to be done on the impact of the revolution at the regional level, and even documents published in some cases in the Soviet Union during the 1970s and 1980s have yet to be fully incorporated into the general historiography of the period. This article seeks to reassess an openly …
Managing Withdrawal
Perhaps surprisingly, given the availability of new Russian memoir material, some excellent individual monographs, and a large variety of declassified documents, a full operational–political account of the Soviet Union's withdrawal strategy from Afghanistan has yet to be written. This article, utilising openly published yet neglected sources, attempts to fill that gap. The final fate of the Najibullah regime, and the contradictory effect of the N…
Russian Military Intelligence, 1905-1917
The role of military intelligence in the First World War has been relatively neglected compared with the revelations that have wholly altered the historiography of the Second World War since the 1970s. The role of Russian military intelligence in that first conflict has in particular been an enigma for many decades, because of the difficulty of archival access. Now, however, a new generation of Russian, European and American scholars are uncoveri…
