Abstract

Die grenzüberschreitende Mobilität und die Diaspora sind keine neuen Phänomene in der Geschichte der Menschheit. Die fortschreitende Globalisierung, vor allem aber die immer günstigeren und schnelleren Transportmittel sowie neue Kommunikationssysteme und Medien fördern die Entwicklung transnationaler Lebensformen. Die Letzteren werden von vielen Menschen als eine zusätzliche Ressource, als eine Anpassungs- und Überlebensstrategie angesichts globaler Herausforderungen genutzt. Ein transnationales Gebilde stellt auch die „Neue Russisch(sprachige)e Diaspora“ dar, die auf einer gemeinsamen Sprache als Kommunikationsmittel und Informationsträger baut. In der Konsequenz heißt es dann, dass es weder um ethnische noch nationale Netze geht, sondern der praktischen Vernunft folgend um ein sprachlich fundiertes Netzwerk. Diese Sprachbezogenheit ist neu und unterscheidet es prinzipiell von den „alten“ Diaspora-Phänomenen. Die „Neue Diaspora“ weist zwar noch gewisse Züge einer „vorgestellten“ Gemeinschaft auf, fungiert aber längst als eine neue Form von Gesellschaft und kann somit als ein Vorgriff auf Weltgesellschaft verstanden werden.

Abstract

"The essays in this stimulating collection attest to the scope and variety of Russia's influence on British culture. They move from the early nineteenth century -- when Byron sent his hero Don Juan to meet Catherine the Great, and an English critic sought to come to terms with the challenge of Pushkin -- to a series of Russian-themed exhibitions at venues including the Crystal Palace and Earls Court. The collection looks at British encounters with Russian music, the absorption with Dostoevskii and Chekhov, and finishes by shedding light on Britain's engagement with Soviet film."--Back cover.

Abstract

First published in 1899, with a second edition following in 1900 – just four years prior to the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War – this in-depth study of Russia’s great expansion into Asia describes in detail the policies which brought it about. The author acknowledges close scrutiny of over two hundred authorities, including primary Russian sources and British official documents in the writing of this extensive volume. In his Preface to the second edition, Krausse observes: ‘The developments in Russian affairs during the past fifteen months have been concerned rather in the continuation of the aims already recorded than in any new departure of policy; and the acquisition of the Liaotung peninsula, the Russification of Manchuria, and the completion of the Kushk railway to the Afghan frontier remain the latest definite achievements of Russian diplomacy. The attitude of Russia in regard to the question of the open door, her attempts on the independence of Korea, her pending struggle with Japan, and her aims in China, are yet in the evolutionary stage…’ Making it clear what the underlying thesis of his study is, Krausse concludes in his Prefatory Chapter, after anticipating the completion of ‘gigantic [Siberian] railway’, ‘And then, like a giant refreshed, Russia will once more gird up her loins and set forth on a renewed campaign for the conquest of the world’. The relevance of this work continues into the present in the broad context of Asian Studies and the colonial history in the nineteenth century, Russian Tzarist history and Anglo-Russian diplomatic history, as well as in the context of post-1989 political history.
