Of Bison and Taxidermy
The article is devoted to the biography of Augustus Szusterus (circa 1805 - not earlier than 1871), the keeper of the zoological cabinet at the Vilna Medical and SurgicalAcademy (1835-1841), and then the University of St Vladimir in Kiеv (1842-1870). By using his life as a case-study, we analyse the career of an "invisible technician" in Russian higher education of the 19th century. Szusterus was one of the best taxidermists who worked for the ac…
Forum 62
Studies of more-than-human sociality in general, and multispecies ethnography in particular, are becoming an increasingly popular trend in global (social, human, and transdisciplinary) scholarship. In the current forum, researchers from various disciplines discuss the advantages, limitations, and challenges of this trend. They also share their thoughts on why multispecies research has (or has not) an appeal in Russian academia and what the future…
Cattle Grazing Is Prohibited After the Bison Was Killed in Białowieża Forest
VAL ́Kova Ol ́ga A., Shturmuia tsitadel ́ nauki. Zhenshchiny-uchenye Rossiiskoi imperii [Storming the citadel of science
Ol ́ga Val ́kova monograph is devoted to women’s gradual entry into the academic community of the Russian empire in the late 18th – early 20th century. The book is essentially a reworked doctoral dissertation that Ol ́ga Val ́kova successfully defended at the Institute for the History of Science and Technology, Moscow, in 2014. We should certainly welcome this publication, as Ol ́ga Val ́kova’s research fills a manifest gap both in the social his…
Cattle pasturing as a traditional form of forest use and conflicts between peasants and forestry administration in the long nineteenth century (the case of Białowieza Primeval Forest)
The article deals with one of the key resources for peasants of Eastern Europe, wood pastures. Relying on new archival material, we demonstrate that peasant communities, in the spirit of James Scott, consistently sabotaged state efforts to ban livestock pasturing in the forests. The state, over the long nineteenth century, strengthened control over many aspects of the economic life of the village, which gradually made the conflicts of the peasant…
Transition from traditional to modern forest management shaped the spatial extent of cattle pasturing in Białowieża Primeval Forest in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries
Pasturing of livestock in forests has had profound consequences for Europe's landscapes. In Białowieża Primeval Forest (BPF), cattle pasturing was a part of traditional forest use that ceased only in the second half of the twentieth century. We collected information on the institutional changes governing forest cattle pasturing and the changes in spatial extent of cattle presence in BPF in last two centuries and information on cattle numbers and …
The Beetle Question
The article examines the organization of the Regional Entomological Congresses that took place in the 1880s in Odessa and Kharkov following outbreaks of the ‘kuzka grain beetle (Anisoplia austriaca). These Congresses represented the first steps towards the professionalization of agricultural entomology within Russia. The ‘beetle question emerged as a one of the most serious agronomical problems in the second half of the nineteenth century. All of…
The Origins of the Russian Chernozem Soil (Black Earth)
This article analyses the contribution of the Austrian-born Russian scientist, Franz Joseph Ruprecht (1814-70) to the development of geobotany in general and to the controversial issue of the origins of the very fertile chernozem (Black Earth) of the steppe region of the Russian Empire. On the basis of careful field work and microscopic analysis of samples of chernozem, Ruprecht argued, in an important article published in St Petersburg in 1866, …
