Between Tsar and People
Nikita Khrushchev
What was known about Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev during his career was strictly limited by the secretive Soviet government. Little more information was available after he was ousted and became a “non-person” in the ussr in 1964. This pathbreaking book draws for the first time on a wealth of newly released materials—documents from secret former Soviet archives, memoirs of long-silent witnesses, the full memoirs of the premier himself—to assem…

On Nineteen Eighty-Four
Eurasia
Does the former Soviet space have any historico-regional significance, or is it really no more than an area occupied by an imperial aspirant, taking advantage of the weakness of European and Asian powers following the First World War? The author argues that the term “Eurasia” is merely a convenient way of referring to what had been Soviet territory. Recent history has seen attempts to endow it with a larger civilizational significance, but these …

Where Academics Feared to Tread
Capitalism is not just an economic model; it is also a cultural system. Western economists were quick to offer prescriptions for the transition, but other academics had little to say about how to ingrain capitalism into Russian culture
Nikita Khrushchev
"This book draws on a wealth of newly released materials - documents from secret former Soviet archives, memoirs of long-silent witnesses, the full memoirs of the premier himself - to assemble the best-informed analysis of the Khrushchev years ever completed. The contributors to this volume include Russian, Ukrainian, American, and British scholars; a former key foreign policy aide to Khrushchev; the executive secretary of a Russian commission in…
Russkii inok
The career of the Russian painter Mikhail Nesterov suggests the particular way in which Russian modernism was affected both by the unusually literary nature of the dominant pre-modern tendencies in Russian art and also by religio-political preoccupations, which were stronger in Russia than elsewhere in Europe. His experience also gives a fascinating example of how even a painter deeply hostile to the Russian Revolution of 1917 could regroup and c…
The Cambridge Companion to Modern Russian Culture
Russia is a dominant force in the world, whose culture has been shaped by its unique position on the margins of both East and West. As Russia faces new cultural challenges from outside its national boundaries, this volume introduces Russian culture in all its rich diversity, including the historical conditions that helped shape it and the arts that express its highest achievements. Newly commissioned essays by leading scholars explore language, r…
The October Revolution
Life and Terror in Stalin's Russia 1934-1941
Terror, in the sense of mass, unjust arrests, characterized the USSR during the late 1930s. But, argues Robert Thurston in this book, Stalin did not intend to terrorize the country and did not need to rule by fear. Memoirs and interviews with Soviet people indicate that many more believed in Stalin's quest to eliminate internal enemies than were frightened by it. Drawing on recently opened Soviet archives and other sources, Thurston shows that be…

The Revenge of the past
Republic of Humbug
T]o a man in love with a woman, she is a very different person from what she is to a man who is indifferent to her, because, by virtue of one man's passion and the other's indifference, she has been simultaneously granted two forms of being according to the two different meanings that have been given to her, though in this case they coincide in the generic. To both men she is a woman, though covetable and perfect for one of them, negligible and p…

G.-F. Muller and the Imperial Russian Academy
Gerhard Friderich Muller was born in Westphalia and studied in Leipzig. In 1725 he moved to Russia to teach as one of the first members of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Muller's fifty-eight years with the institution were spent at or near the centre of intellectual and political activity in his adopted land. His writing interpreted Western culture to Russians and helped to create the West's image of its vast neighbour. Muller was a founder of …

"Totalitarianism" in 1984
The arrival of 1984 has brought us a milestone that we do not know how to celebrate but cannot ignore. Academic organizations, publishers, op-ed page aspirants-none of them can stay away from Orwell and the year he made famous, although remarkably little has come of it all. One reason for this is that, to a notable degree, 1984 was a generational nightmare. We are more frightened of other things now, so when we return to this work of Orwell's las…

The Emigration and apostasy of Lev Tikhomirov
The Apostasy of Lev Aleksandrovich Tikhomirov, one of the few surviving giants of the Executive Committee of Narodnaia volia, was among the most severe disasters which the Russian revolutionary movement sustained in the decade following the assassination of Alexander II. In the summer of 1888 Tikhomirov, the coeditor of Narodnaia volia's Geneva journal, published a pamphlet entitled Pochemu ia perestal byt' revoliutsionerom (Why I Ceased to Be a …
