Bankrupts and Usurers of Imperial Russia: Debt, Property, and the Law in the Age of Dostoevsky and Tolstoy
In late 2015, a new law went on the books in Russia that allowed individual citizens to file for bankruptcy. The law applied to all types of loans, from consumer and car loans to mortgages and borrowings in a foreign currency. Previously, in post-Soviet Russia, only legal entities such as companies and business partnerships could file for such protection. This change takes us back to the imperial era when private credit and personal bankruptcy we…
Everyday Life in Russia Past and Present
In these original essays on long-term patterns of everyday life in prerevolutionary, Soviet, and contemporary Russia, distinguished scholars survey the cultural practices, power relations, and behaviors that characterized daily existence for Russians through the post-Soviet present. Microanalyses and transnational perspectives shed new light on the formation and elaboration of gender, ethnicity, class, nationalism, and subjectivity. Changes in co…

Evgenij Akel ́ev, Povsednevnaja žizn ́ vorovskogo mira Moskvy vo vremena Van ́ki Kaina
The popular Molodaia Gvardia “Living History” book series on everyday life, now approaching 100 titles, is a baggy collection of histories and current events. Some of its history books are not the new social or cultural studies suggested by the series title but merely standard accounts with the fashionable label “everyday life” tacked on. Others are rehashes of gossipy court or high society studies. But a few are genuinely original, powerful work…
Implicit Questions in Michael Confino’s Essay: Corporate state and vertical relationships
The essay commends Michael Confino’s challenging criticisms over many years of the conceptualizations commonly used by historians of Russia. David L. Ransel agrees with the criticisms of the soslovie paradigm advanced by Confino in his recent essay. Ransel suggests that by adapting the soslovie to class conceptualization of Russia’s modernization, historians may have missed seeing a more fruitful and instructive conceptualization, one usually ass…

A forum on Boris Mironov's Russian and English editions ofThe Social History of Imperial Russia, 1700-1917(2000) offers the comments of four scholars on different aspects of Mironov's work. David L. Ransel introduces the forum with a consideration of whether Russian and western historical scholarship has been or should be converging, and he reviews the Russian-language response to Mironov's book. William G. Wagner discusses Mironov's key conclusi…
Baptism in rural Russia: Village women speak of their children and their way of life
The disintegration of the Soviet Union made possible the collection of oral history testimony from Russian villagers, with the objective of recording firsthand the experiences of the women who participated in (and, indeed, themselves carried through) the demographic transition in Russia. Informants understood christening as an important aspect of child care and took pride in having held to these practices despite the efforts of the Communist Part…

The "Memoirs" of Count Münnich
Since the first Russian publication of Count B. C. Münnich's "Memoirs" in 1842 historians have employed them as a useful primary source on eighteenthcentury history. However, the Russian title,Zapiski, is misleading. Münnich was not writing his personal memoirs or even a state memorandum: instead he was offering a proposal for central government reform with an accompanying historical justification. Scholars have occasionally remarked on this aspe…

Recent Soviet Studies in Demographic History
Demographic study in Russia dates back to the late eighteenth century. The chief work during the early years was done by foreign scholars working at the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. Karl Herman, Ludwig Kraft, Heinrich Storch and others carried out analyses based on scattered and often poorly derived parish records, police surveys, and taxation lists. The data were crude enough in some cases to occasion what later scholars would have regard…
