The Barber-Surgeon and the Schismatic
This article presents a new reading of one of the most famous images of Russian visual culture: the anonymous, untitled, eighteenth-century popular print ( lubok ) known as “The Barber Wants to Cut the Beard of the Old Believer.” After reviewing the existing historiography and offering evidence for an alternative dating, I argue that this xylograph is less a folksy illustration of Peter I’s “cultural revolution” than a manifestation of the tastes…
Вивлиофика
The current (2022), tenth issue of Vivliofika, is special in a couple of different ways. First, it marks a significant milestone for the annual publication itself, which was founded as an open access, international, scholarly journal exactly a decade ago. Second, in fulfilment of the journal's initial charge-to cover the length and breadth of the eighteenth-century Russian Empire, its many peoples, experiences, diverse histories, religions, and c…

Using the example of Prince B. I. Kurakin (1676–1727), the Imperial Russian diplomat who served as extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador to France (1724–1727), this article seeks to contribute to the ongoing discussion about the possible reasons for the adoption of French as the language of international communication in general and eighteenth-century diplomacy in particular. It asks when the Moscow-born Gediminid prince learned to speak F…

Drinking Diplomacy
Early in 1728, in St. Petersburg, Russia, the Duke of Liria—a Spanish diplomat, prominent Jacobite, and an illegitimate grandson of James II—sought to establish a curiously-titled fraternity called the ‘Order of the Anti-Sober’. Using the surviving charter of the proposed fraternal order as a point of departure, this article reconstructs the context and the meaning of Liria’s initiative. While drinking has traditionally been associated with Russi…
The Difference that Peter I Made
Arguing that the modernity, rationality and secularity of Peter the Great’s project have been generally over-emphasized, this chapter contends that the Tsar’s drive to transform his vast realm into a wealthy, powerful and well-regulated Empire derived less from his fondness for things foreign or from the constant demands of warfare than from his sense of divine election for his imperial vocation and his unswerving belief—nurtured by his intimates…
On the Cusp
the Russian governor-general of the swath of territory formerly known as Swedish Livonia, commissioned the construction and interpretation of two natal horoscopes, one for himself and one for his eldest son, Petr Grigor'evich (1712-1773). 1 (See Figures 3 and4.)Preserved within the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art in Moscow (RGALI), together with the "judgments" that comment on them, these "genethlialogical" charts constitute a rare ea…
For love and fatherland
Cet article décrit les origines et la portée politique de l’ordre de Sainte-Catherine ou de la Délivrance, le second ordre de chevalerie du système honorifique russe à avoir été mis en place sous le règne de Pierre le Grand, et le premier ordre monarchique russe à disposer de ses propres statuts et à être exclusivement réservé aux femmes. La fondation de l’ordre de Sainte-Catherine a traditionnellement été décrite comme un projet mené par le tsar…
For love and fatherland
A Full‐Frontal History of the Romanov Dynasty
This profusely illustrated article expands the chronological and evidentiary basis of Boris Kolonitskii's argument about the role of scurrilous rumors and sexual innuendo in the desacralization of the Russian monarchy and demonstrates the complexity of the processes of reception, re‐appropriation, and subversion of imperial “scenarios of power.” It does so by offering a close reading of what is arguably the earliest‐known example of the genre of …
