Serhii Plokhy, The Lost Kingdom
Martin Wight Memorial Lecture Trust and distrust in Russia
Zones of violence are spaces in which violence against other human beings becomes normal; they are characterized as places where primal trust in institutions and rules has been lost. While Jörg Baberowski initially used this concept to refer to Nazi Germany, I assert that its lessons are just as applicable to the Soviet Union, especially during the 1930s. In order to demonstrate this, I highlight how, already in tsarist Russia, institutions and c…
A Democratic White General
General Boldyrev was a more important figure than has been generally appreciated. He was at the heart of the five-man Directory created at the Ufa State Conference of September 1918, the only serious attempt after October 1917 to construct a democratic Russian polity deriving from the institutions of Imperial Russia. While other White generals believed that during the civil war the interim political system had to be a military dictatorship, Boldy…

Trust and Distrust in the USSR
Structures of Trust
This paper uses the concept of social trust to extend the 'institutional economics' of North and Olson, and more specifically Hedlund's 'path dependence' account of Russia's economic development. For this purpose it compares the evolution of Britain and Russia since the eighteenth century. A key determinant of social trust is the relation between the state, money and the population. In Britain trust was mobilised through state fiscal policies, pu…
The Russian Orthodox Church and secularisation
In his study of religion in western Europe, Hugh McLeod claims that the nineteenth and twentieth centuries up to 1970 were a period not of secularisation but rather of polarisation, in which both Christianity and militant secularism were major forces in political, social and cultural life. As he sees it, three tendencies were in contention: (i) radical Protestantism; (ii) ultramontane Catholicism; (iii) the secular ‘religion of humanity’. I will …
Religion and the Political Imagination
The theory of secularisation became a virtually unchallenged truth of twentieth-century social science. First sketched out by Enlightenment philosophers, then transformed into an irreversible global process by nineteenth-century thinkers, the theory was given substance by the precipitate drop in religious practice across Western Europe in the 1960s. However, the re-emergence of acute conflicts at the interface between religion and politics has co…
Paths of History
Terrorism and trust
Trust enables us to simplify and understand complicated realities and orientate ourselves in them, which we do through symbolic systems, including myth and religion. Terrorism results when those systems generate extreme distrust, especially between ethnic or religious groups. Within nation-states pre-conditions of trust include normative coherence, stability, openness and accountability. In international relations these pre-conditions are more di…

Trust and Distrust
In the last twenty years or so, sociologists have shown that trust is an especially problematic but also especially important feature of modern societies, in which traditional and familiar social ties have been broken up and reconfigured in new patterns. On the whole, however, sociologists do not attempt a historical analysis, contenting themselves with the distinction between modern and pre-modern societies. With few exceptions, historians, who …
Power and the Nation in European History
Few would doubt the central importance of the nation in the making and unmaking of modern political communities. The long history of 'the nation' as a concept and as a name for various sorts of 'imagined community' likewise commands such acceptance. But when did the nation first become a fundamental political factor? This is a question which has been, and continues to be, far more sharply contested. A deep rift still separates 'modernist' perspec…

It clearly delineates controversies and attempts to show how contemporary scholarship is moving beyond them in new directions. All the same, I have my doubts about whether his “anti-paradigm” has much tangible content. There is no question that the concept of “Eur…

Russia and the Russians
The Paths of History
This is a broad and ambitious study of the entire history of humanity which takes as its point of departure Marx's theory of social evolution. However, Professor Diakonoff's theory of world history differs from Marx's in a number of ways. Firstly he has expanded Marx's five stages of development to eight. Secondly he denies that social evolution necessarily implies progress and shows how 'each progress is simultaneously a regress', and thirdly he…

The name of Solzhenitsyn so dominated the Soviet literary scene in the 1960s that the ordinary Western reader might be forgiven for supposing that in the writing of fiction he was the lone star in an otherwise featureless sky. This is far from being the case. Solzhenitsyn himself, in a recent interview with Western correspondents, pointed out that there are a number of other writers of major stature at work in Russia today, though understandably …
