The concept of the first Duma
The introduction of glasnost heralded a revival of interest in the last years of tsarism and the period of semi‐constitutional monarchy from 1905–1917. The October Manifesto of 1905 was the first time a Russian autocrat had devolved any part of his unlimited and autocratic powers to an elected assembly. The Duma, which met for the first time in April 1906, was a parliament, but it had limited powers and the Tsar still referred to himself as an au…
Lenin and the problem of nationalities
In many ways there are parallels between the current crisis over the nationality problem in the Soviet Union and the situation in the early years of this century. The revolutions of 1905 and 1917-21 saw inter-ethnic conflict, both anti-Russian and between the minority nationalities themselves. The experience of war, revolution and civil war led to a sharp increase in national consciousness as the tsarist empire disintegrated. The dream of a new f…

Drama in Esl Teaching
I began using a drama method in teaching ESL because I was mad about drama myself. I had had many years' experience in teaching drama to English children, with pleasing results. This work had included free dancing, dance‐drama, mime, improvisation, and the production of ‘proper’ plays for paying audiences. When I entered EFL teaching, I resolved to incorporate this delightful activity into my timetable and to see what happened next
Approach to the Second Afghan War
into Central Asia had been dramatic throughout the 1 860s. l The Khanate of Khiva had been brought under Russian control as late as 1873 and, despite repeated assurances from the Imperial Chancellory at St Petersburg of Russia's pacific intentions, it was by no means clear when, or if, the process of assimilation would stop. The British government was in a weak position to oppose the advance. Representations were made to St Petersburg at each new…

VI. The Strategic Background to the Anglo-Russian Entente of August 1907
In July 1905 Lord Kitchener, the Indian chief of General Staff, wrote at the krequest of the viceroy a memorandum entitled A note on the Military policy of India , which was in due course sent to England for consideration by the home government. Its plea was for a consistent policy with regard to the North-West Frontier. At the moment, Kitchener complained, this was ‘apt to change with every ministry and almost with every minister, while each inc…
