Lenin Lives?
Lenin was one of the most controversial and also influential figures of the twentieth century. Of all the events of that era, the revolution he inspired in the Russian Empire was the most consequential. It turned the Soviet Union into a superpower, shaped the Chinese Revolution, and dominated political and cultural history all round the globe during the Cold War. Desperate resistance to Leninist revolution evolved into extreme forms of fascism an…

Russian Populism
Russian populism, the belief that the peasantry embodied authentic Russian identity and once liberated from their poverty would lead the country to a brighter future, has animated Russian thought across the political spectrum and inspired much of Russia’s world-historical literature, music and art in the 19th century. This book offers the fullest and most authoritative account of the rise, proliferation and influence of populist values and ideolo…
Ten Months that No Longer Shake the World? The Centenary of the Russian Revolution and Beyond
Centenaries are times to reflect and assess status. This essay discusses accounts of how the centenary of the Russian Revolution was marked around the globe by governments, national media and civil society in general before going on to examine some of the large number of academic contributions to the debate in the form of books, special editions of journals and so on. As well as reflecting on what was said the article also discusses what the cent…

The Plough that Broke the Steppes
The central character of yet another wonderful and ground-breaking book from David Moon is the steppe itself. Like a dramatic human story we see it change from virginal innocence and beauty, characterised by the ‘iconic’ (as Moon rightly calls it) feather grass, with its silvery glint and ocean-like ripples stretching further than the eye can see—through its possession and ravaging, along with concern from its sensitive friends, assistance someti…
Joshua A. Sanborn. Imperial Apocalypse
Simply put, Imperial Apocalypse: The Great War and the Destruction of the Russian Empire is a wonderful book. It takes the reader to the heart of the experience of Russian participants in the Great War in an original and unprecedented way. From the General Staff Headquarters to the desolate lines of refugees, from the suffering frontline troops to the medics who tried to patch up the overwhelming wave of casualties, readers are embedded in the Ea…

Revolution and the People in Russia and China
Late Imperial Russia
It has never been entirely clear why those who argue that tsarism could have survived in Russia should be called ‘optimists’ and those who believe it was doomed should be called ‘pessimists’. For the majority of the population the prospect of liberation from the autocratic yoke was the more optimistic possibility. However, if we follow the arguments of most of the contributors to this excellent volume, we can drop the terminology altogether and f…
Krupskaya, Proletkul’t and the Origins of Soviet Cultural Policy
Although it has not always been recognized, cultural revolution was at the heart of the Bolshevik project. Its implementation, none the less, was problematic not least in the areas of defining what form such a cultural revolution should take and how it should be promoted. The article focuses on the educational work of Nadezhda Krupskaya (1869–1939), a leading pioneer of early Soviet cultural transformation. She had a lifelong involvement in the e…
In Search of Liberal Tsarism
The idea that the autocracy might have successfully modernized itself has, in recent years, spread widely beyond academic circles. However, a look at traditional and recent historiography shows that very few historians support this line. Even those who argue that Russia itself was developing rapidly have seen little prospect of the autocracy surviving the process. Equally, those who argue that radical socialist revolution might have been avoided …

The Soviet attitude to the Christian‐Marxist dialogue
The nature and perspectives of the dialogue between Christians and Marxists have developed considerably since the time of the first meetings of the Paulusgesellschaft in the mid-60s. The cynics remarked then that at these meetings the Marxists were all from Western Europe, the Christians from the East. It is indeed true that as far as the authorities in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union were concerned, the dialogue was permitted to exist but no…
