Abstract

In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Russians from all ranks of society were bound together by a culture of honor. Here one of the foremost scholars of early modern Russia explores the intricate and highly stylized codes that made up this culture. Nancy Shields Kollmann describes how these codes were manipulated to construct identity and enforce social norms--and also to defend against insults, to pursue vendettas, and to unsettle communities. She offers evidence for a new view of the relationship of state and society in the Russian empire, and her richly comparative approach enhances knowledge of statebuilding in premodern Europe. By presenting Muscovite state and society in the context of medieval and early modern Europe, she exposes similarities that blur long-standing distinctions between Russian and European history.Through the prism of honor, Kollmann examines the interaction of the Russian state and its people in regulating social relations and defining an individual's rank. She finds vital information in a collection of transcripts of legal suits brought by elites and peasants alike to avenge insult to honor. The cases make clear the conservative role honor played in society as well as the ability of men and women to employ this body of ideas to address their relations with one another and with the state. Kollmann demonstrates that the grand princes-and later the tsars-tolerated a surprising degree of local autonomy throughout their rapidly expanding realm. Her work marks a stark contrast with traditional Russian historiography, which exaggerates the power of the state and downplays the volition of society.

Abstract

Taken together, the Russian census of 1897 and the Soviet censuses of 1926, 1959, 1970, and 1979 constitute the largest collection of empirical data available on that country, but until the publication of this book in 1986, the daunting complexity of that material prevented Western scholars from exploiting the censuses fully. This book is both a guide and a detailed index to these censuses. The first part of the book consists of eight essays by specialist on the USSR, six of them dealing with the use of census materials and the availability of data for research on ethnicity and language, marriage and the family, education and literacy, migration and organization, age structure, and occupations. The second part, a comprehensive index for all the published censuses, presents more than six hundred annotated entries for the census tables, a keyword index that enables researchers to find census data by subject, and a list of political-administrative units covered in each census.

Abstract

Schon kurz nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges begann die Sowjetunion, sich um Einfluss in den Ländern der sogenannten Dritten Welt und solchermaßen um Positionsgewinne in ihrem politischen Ringen mit dem Westen und dessen Vormacht USA zu bemühen. Antikolonialistische und sowjetsozialistische Befreiungsrhetorik passten oft gut zusammen, aber der genauere Blick zeigt, dass die Beziehungen vielschichtiger und wesentlich vom Eigensinn der jungen, selbständig gewordenen Nationen geprägt waren. Indira Gandhi und Leonid Breschnew stehen gewissermaßen für dieses Gefüge. Mit dem Einmarsch in Afghanistan 1979 verspielte die UdSSR schließlich einen erheblichen Teil des erworbenen Vertrauenskapitals. Im vorliegenden Band führt ein internationales Autorenteam mit 14 Beiträgen zu Schlüsselproblemen in ein von der deutschen Zeitgeschichtsschreibung bislang wenig bearbeitetes, nichtsdestoweniger aber brisantes Forschungsfeld ein.

Abstract

Twenty years in the making, this collection presents 122 top-level Soviet, European and American records on the superpowers' role in the annus mirabilis of 1989. Consisting of Politburo minutes; diary entries from Gorbachev's senior aide, Anatoly Chernyaev; meeting notes and private communications of Gorbachev with George H.W. Bush, Margaret Thatcher, Helmut Kohl and François Mitterrand; and high-level CIA analyses, this volume offers a rare insider's look at the historic, world-transforming events that culminated in the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and the end of the Cold War. Most of these records have never been published before.

Abstract

This monograph, based on newly declassified sources from Western and Russian archives as well as on communist texts about international law and neutrality, is the first English-language account of Soviet policy towards neutral yet capitalist Austria during the Cold War. In order to make neutrality a model for the West, the Kremlin presented the unique Soviet-Austrian relationship as "a good example of peaceful coexistence" and a showcase for the benefits a Western state might reap by declaring neutrality. This honor, however, had strings attached: The communist doctrine of neutrality contained obligations that were expected to make it possible to exploit neutral states as instruments of Soviet policy and bring them nearer the socialist bloc.

Abstract

La autora, haciendo el mayor acopio de publicaciones oficiales así como de discursos de los principales líderes, ofrece un panorama completo de la política cubana tendiente a lograr cierta autonomía política e ideológica ante la Unión Soviética, en un momento en que la crciente dependencia económica de Cuba respecto de aquélla, propiciaba asimismo la dependencia en el plano político-ideológico.

Abstract

stalins Deutschlandpolitik ist noch immer umstritten. Jan Foitzik hat in russischen Archiven zahlreiche neue Quellen zusammengetragen, die über das ganze Panorama konkurrierender wirtschaftlicher, technologischer und militärischer Interessen in der sowjetischen Politik informieren. In seiner Edition spiegeln sich so nicht nur die Reparationsfrage und das verwickelte Problem der Entnazifizierung. Sie lässt auch die Stalin-Note von 1952 und insgesamt den Stellenwert der "deutschen Frage" in der Hegemonialpolitik Moskaus in einem neuen Licht erscheinen. Besonderen Reiz gewinnt das Quellenwerk durch interne Dokumente der SED-Führung, die in den DDR-Archiven nicht überliefert sind.

Abstract

Originally published in 1987. In March 1917 young Joseph Stalin, already a high-ranking Bolshevik, returned from Siberian exile in search of greatness and power. But his activities during the months leading up to the October Revolution were full of blunders and misjudgments—failures that in later years Stalin obliterated from the historical record. Stalin in October reassembles the history of 1917 and explains why, on the eve of the revolutionaries' seizure of power, Stalin seemingly dropped out of the picture. "He would always be dogged," Slusser writes, "by a nagging sense of having somehow missed the revolution." The lingering shame was crucial to Stalin's development into a Soviet dictator.

Abstract

Over two decades have passed since the collapse of the USSR, yet the words ""Soviet Union"" still carry significant weight in the collective memory of millions. But how often do we consider the true meaning of the term ""Soviet""? Drawing extensively on left-wing press archives, Romancing the Revolution traces the reactions of the British Left to the idealized concept of Soviet democracy. Focusing on the turbulent period after the 1917 Russian Revolution, author Ian Bullock examines the impact of the myth of Soviet democracy: the belief that Russia was embarking on a brave experiment in a form

Abstract

Not since the culturally and politically exciting period of the sixties has there been such an outpouring of stylistically varied and sociopolitically significant films from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. In recent years, films from these countries have captured numerous awards at prestigious international film festivals and have been the subject of major retrospectives at important cultural centers in the United States and Western Europe. Post new wave developments have been variously hailed as a second new wave, as the new model in the Soviet Union, the new Yugoslav film in Yugoslavia, the cinema of moral concern in Poland, and the new Hungarian cinema in Hungary. This book is the first to systematically survey and analyze recent cinematic developments in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and to do so within the context of contemporary sociocultural and political developments. Each national cinema is discussed and analyzed by a noted authority, with chapters devoted to the Soviet Union (Anna Lawton), East Germany (Sigrun D. Leonhard), Czechoslovakia (Peter Hames), Poland (Frank Turaj), Hungary (David Paul), Bulgaria (Ronald Holloway), and Yugoslavia (Daniel J. Goulding).
