  • Muslims in the Russian Army

    Laura EngelsteinARTICLEFirst World War Studies2026

    At the end of the nineteenth century, about 12 million Muslims lived in the Russian Empire, comprising 10% of the total population. Concentrated in four principal areas – the Volga-Urals, the Crime

  • Bobkowski and the Banker

    Laura EngelsteinARTICLEThe Polish Review2022

    This essay begins with a discussion of the controversy among Polish émigré intellectuals, following Bobkowski's death, on the subject of his attitude toward the Jews during and after the war. In the course of this precursor to more recent debates, Czesław Miłosz (1911–2004), for one, characterized Bobkowski's posture as antisemitic, but others rose to the writer's defense. Among them was Szymon Konarski (1894–1981), wartime director of the Paris …

  • A Single Civilian Whore’ – Reflections on the Might-Have-Beens of the Russian Civil War

    Laura EngelsteinARTICLERevolutionary Russia2020Citada por: 1Referências: 2

    This essay responds to Jonathan Smele's exercise in counterfactual history, which makes the case that no other contender for power had sufficient organizational capacity or popular appeal to present a viable challenge to Bolshevik victory in the civil war. The Bolsheviks indeed enjoyed various structural and strategic advantages, but they faced powerful opposition. This essay presents the ‘counterfactual’ of the civil war as an actually existing …

    Laura EngelsteinBOOKRussia in flames2017

    "A century ago, the three-hundred-year-old Romanov dynasty was toppled, replaced first by an interim government and then by the world's first self-proclaimed socialist society. This was no narrative of ten earth-shaking days but one of months and years of compounding strife, a struggle for power by competing ideologies and regions and classes and political parties and ethnicities, all rushing to fill the vacuum left by the collapse of the tsarist…

  • Dominic Lieven. The End of Tsarist Russia

    Laura EngelsteinARTICLEThe American Historical Review2016

    This book is both modest and ambitious. It is modest because it avoids attention-grabbing claims. It does not, for example, blame Russia for the outbreak of war in 1914. The book is ambitious because it attempts to tell a monumental story at all levels of complexity. Dominic Lieven admits to writing three books in one: from the God’s eye view to the worm’s eye view, with everything in between. From the aerial perspective, he offers a comparative …

    Laura EngelsteinARTICLEKritika2003Citada por: 1Referências: 1

    The essays gathered here offer case studies of violence in Russian history, without defining the term. Violence, we naturally assume, involves the use of force or, less dramatically, compulsion or constraint resulting in some kind of damage. The OED identifies it with "treatment or usage tending to cause bodily injury or forcibly interfering with personal freedom." Under certain circumstances, as in self-defense and wartime, violence is considere…

    Culture, Culture Everywhere:Interpretations of Modern Russia, across the 1991 Divide Laura Engelstein (bio) The turn towards cultural analysis among historians in Europe and the United States emerged in the 1970s, when the new social-science-oriented history began to lose ground to methods drawn from anthropological, linguistic, and literary theory. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the discrediting of Marxist-style historical materialism rein…

  • Castration and the Heavenly Kingdom

    Sander L Gilman, Laura EngelsteinARTICLEThe American Historical Review2000

    Of the many sects that broke from the official Russian Orthodox church in the eighteenth century, one was universally despised. Its members were peasants from the Russian heartland skilled in the arts of animal husbandry who turned their knives on themselves to become eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. Convinced that salvation came only with the literal excision of the instruments of sin, they were known as Skoptsy (the self-castrated). Th…

  • Soviet Policy Toward Male Homosexuality

    Laura EngelsteinARTICLEJournal of Homosexuality1995Citada por: 8

    Sodomy was a crime under tsarist criminal law. Having abrogated the tsarist legal codes in the name of socialist justice, the new Soviet regime did not at first impose criminal sanctions on sodomy. It was only in 1934, after Stalin had consolidated power, that an anti-sodomy statute was added to the Soviet criminal code. Although Russian radicals had never been friendly to variant sexual practices, which they viewed as the product of capitalist d…
