Wild Women in Jazz Age Odessa and New York: Sex, Crime, Jews, and Gender in the Global 1920s
As a category for interpreting allegedly immoral lives, “wildness” has been a way to name, and to justify policing and disciplining, willful unruliness thought to threaten a society’s core values, civic order, and norms of behavior. This article uses the category of wildness, recently elaborated in social theory, to examine evidence in an atypical global comparison: early communist Odessa (Odesa today) and capitalist New York City in the 1920s. T…
Sheila Fitzpatrick. The Shortest History of the Soviet Union
Crooked and Straight: Street Stories and Moral Stories in Early Soviet Odessa
Moral storytelling about urban public life in Odesa in the 1920s is at the center of attention. A key social space is in focus: streets and corners as spaces and as concepts. And a particular storyteller is central: the well-known and yet biographically mysterious feuilletonist for the city's evening newspaper, "Al. Svetlov." Soviet journalists, like Soviet reality, were expected to offer ideological clarity: a morally unambiguous and teleologica…
The New Socialist City: Building Utopia in the USSR, 1917–1934
Architecture and utopia have long been allies—not least in the history of imagining and building the new Soviet socialist city, an obsessive idea and project from before the 1917 revolution to the early 1930s. This essay explores these efforts as a determination to obliterate the poisonous cities of old and transcend the suffering cities of the present—as practiced utopia against the dystopia of the status quo. “Utopia” here is defined, drawing o…

Ghostly fogs in a decaying empire: Disoriented and melancholy experience in Russia’s metropole
This article explores the disoriented affective experience of urban modernity in the Russian imperial metropole: obsessive portrayals, by writers both famous and obscure, of St. Petersburg as a place of alleged power and intense modernity haunted by loss and feeling lost, by fragmentation and decay, by feelings of standing on shifting ground, vague disenchantment, and melancholy. With a mixture of concreteness and intangibility, this was an affec…
Russian History through the Senses: From 1700 to the Present. Edited by Matthew P. Romaniello and Tricia Starks
Cynics might say that the humanities have had more than their share of fashionable methodological “turns,” from the linguistic to the more recent spatial, material, and affective turns, among others. The “sensory turn” has been emerging since Alain Corbin’s work in the 1980s, though it is Mark M. Smith’s work over the last decade that has had the strongest methodological influence on these authors. Sensory history has been linked to a turn away f…

WASHINGTON-Woodrow Wilson Center Press has published a new book, Religion, Morality, and Community in Post-Soviet Societies, edited by Mark D. Steinberg and Catherine Wanner.

Melancholy and Modernity: Emotions and Social Life in Russia Between the Revolutions
This article addresses the various manifestations of a new fascination with melancholy, as it developed in various sectors of Russian society early in the 20th century. The new atmosphere seemed, in part at least, a response to rapid social change, and it joined popular moods to discussions by leading intellectuals. The result provides a distinctive cultural moment in Russian history, and contributes as well to the larger study of emotions in his…

The Fall of the Romanovs: Political Dreams and Personal Struggles in a Time of Revolution
The Urban Landscape in Workers' Imagination
International Colloquium on Workers and the Intelligentsia in Russia in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries
Recently, the study of workers in late Imperial Russia has been dismissed by some as an exhausted and marginal subject. In Russia itself, since the fall of communism, the study of labor has seemed retrograde and even suspect to many democratic-minded intellectuals. In the West, too, critics have seen in the collapse of the East European "workers' states" an argument against the pertinence of Russian working-class history

In the last few years, critical cultural theory has had an impact on the study and interpretation of the Russian past comparable only to the earlier entry into the field of social history. The three articles under discussion here reflect this methodological shift and merit discussion against this background. Encouraged by arguments and approaches developed mainly in structuralist and poststructuralist philosophy and literary theory,' in interpret…

In September 1918, as a contribution to Lenin's plan to decorate Soviet cities with instructive statues, bas-reliefs, and inscribed plaques and stone walls, the cultural journal of the Moscow Soviet recommended to its readers Ivan Shadr's idea for a Monument to the World's Suffering, a large architectural and sculptural ensemble conceived during the war by an artist the laboring classes.' In its function and symbolism the monument was a shrine wi…

This valuable study offers a rare perspective on the social and political crisis in late Imperial Russia. Mark D. Steinberg focuses on employers, supervisors, and workers in the printing industry as it evolved from a state-dependent handicraft to a capitalist industry. He explores class relations and the values, norms, and perceptions with which they were made meaningful. Using archival and printed sources, Steinberg examines economic changes, wo…
