  • Thought, Culture, and Power

    Open AccessRichard WortmanARTICLEModern Intellectual History2008References: 7

    Looking back on the evolution of my scholarship over five decades, I am struck both by my constant fascination with how systems of thought enthralled and inspired historical figures and by my approach to the changing subjects that became the object of this fascination.

  • Scenarios of Power

    Richard Wortman, Richard S WortmanBOOKScenarios of Power2006

    This new and abridged edition of Scenarios of Power is a concise version of Richard Wortman's award-winning study of Russian monarchy from the seventeenth century until 1917.

    Richard WortmanARTICLEThe Russian Review1987Cited by: 1

    Like all important reinterpretations of the past, Edward Keenan's Muscovite Political Folkways makes us sit up and take notice. Keenan presents a sweeping overview of the Russian past distinguished his characteristic rhetorical flair and iconoclastic elan. He links the Soviet Union today with Russia's history, and connects current political behavior with patterns originating at the beginnings of the Russian state. It is in Muscovy that Keenan dis…
