  • Egyptian anti-French resistance in the province of Rosetta (July – September 1798)

    Alexandre TchoudinovARTICLEAnnual of French Studies2025

    The military and political expansion of the French Republic into the territories of other countries during the Revolutionary Wars of 1792–1802 was carried out under the guise of “liberation” rhetoric. While claiming to “liberate” other nations from their tyrants, revolutionary France actually occupied neighboring countries and extracted resources from them. In 1798, at the head of the Oriental Army, Napoleon Bonaparte also planned to carry out th…

  • The Second Death of Andreas Hofer? Peculiarities of the Evolution of Historical Memory on the Tyrolean Uprising of 1809

    Alexandre TchoudinovARTICLEIstoriya2020

    The article is devoted to the problem of formatting of historical memory in modern Austria and Northern Italy about the anti-Napoleonic Tyrolean uprising of Andreas Hofer in 1809. The nowadays dominant trend became evident during the celebrations marking the 210th anniversary of Hofer’s death.

    Образ Наполеона в народной культуре России XIX века В российском фольклоре XIX века образ иностранного неприятеля прошлых времен – шла ли речь о татарах, поляках, турках или французах в целом – изображался в соответствии с традиционным архетипом : иноземный враг – всегда свирепый разбой-ник и губитель веры православной. Этни-ческие черты этого образа были размы-тыми : в разных версиях одного и того же сочинения татары легко могли заменяться поляк…
