  • Eugene Miakinkov
    Russian Military Culture during the Reigns of Catherine II and Paul I, 1762-1801 by Eugene Miakinkov A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta ©Eugene Miakinkov, 2015 Abstract This study explores the shape and development of military culture during the reign of Catherine II. Next to the institutions of the autocracy and the Orthodox Church, the military occupied the most important position in imperial Russia, especially in the eighteenth century. Rather than analyzing the military as an institution or a fighting force, this dissertation uses the tools of cultural history to explore its attitudes, values, aspirations, tensions, and beliefs. Patronage and education served to introduce a generation of young nobles to the world of the military culture, and expose it to its values of respect, hierarchy, subordination, but also the importance of professional knowledge. Merit is a crucial component in any military, and Catherine’s military culture had to resolve the tensions between the idea of meritocracy and seniority. All of the above ideas and dilemmas were expressed in a number of military texts that began to appear during Catherine’s reign. It was during that time that the military culture acquired the cultural, political, and intellectual space to develop – a space I label the “military public sphere”. This development was most clearly evident in the publication, by Russian authors, of a range of military literature for the first time in this era. The military culture was also reflected in the symbolic means used by the senior commanders to convey and reinforce its values in the army.

  • International Journal of Research in Arts and Social Sciences Vol 10, No
    Vol 10, No. 1 International Journal of Research in Arts and Social Sciences THE RUSSIA NEEDS THE WEST FOR SOME TIME, AFTER WHICH IT SHALL TURN ITS BACK TO IT: VLADIMIR PUTIN FULFILLING PETER THE GREAT’S PROPHESY Akin Ademuyiwa University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria Abstract There is no doubt that the all-time powerful Russian Tsar, Peter the Great was the architect of the Russian Empire by his exploits in opening up the once landlocked empire to be closer to Europe through his conquests , such as Asov campaign and many others, his westernization policy also ensured that Russians imbibed some western culture. In spite of the fact that virtually all his teachers, shipbuilders and others were westerners, he was not unmindful of Russia’s distinct culture and ways of life, hence his famous exhortation that ―Russia needs the west for some time, after which it shall turn its back to it‖ This paper attempts to link the prediction of Peter the Great with the present Russia involvement in the Crimea and its subsequent annexation, the ongoing Ukrainian skirmishes, and its attendant economic sanctions imposed on Russia by the western powers. Data will be gathered from archival materials, dedicated internet sources and periodicals. The paper concludes that Russia increasingly would work more closely with Asian nations, starve off the excruciating effects of the economic sanctions thus fulfilling the aged long prediction of Peter the Great. Key words: Peter the Great, the Crimea, Culture, Ukraine, annexation Introduction From the Ashes of Kievan-Rus Emerged the Russian Empire Several scholars have argued that the Russian Empire emerged from the ashes of Kievan- Rus, A medieval European state; Kievan-Rus was founded in 882AD by Prince Oleg.

  • A New Education of Women. Denis Diderot's Anatomy Course Project For
    Maciej Forycki Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu Instytut Historii A new education of women. Denis Diderot’s anatomy course project for young noble women Abstract. A new education of women. Denis Diderot’s anatomy course project for young noble women Denis Diderot (1713–1784) explained how women’s education should be different than before. A woman should be considered a citizen, Diderot demanded placing primary social importance on her domestic activity. An interesting feature of this new approach to education of women was to include an anatomy course in their personal development. Denis Diderot did not devote a separate tractate to the issue of women’s education, nor did he write a concise curriculum in anatomy. However, the remarks scattered among various texts by the philosopher concerning that innovative concept allow us not only to reconstruct a fairly cohesive draft of an anatomy course for girls, but also superbly illustrate Diderot’s commitment to realization of his own ideas. Secondly, we need to consider the activities of one Ms. Biheron – the organizer of public anatomy courses – which exerted, as we will see, a huge influence on Diderot’s conviction of the need to incorporate such courses in women’s education. In the last part of the discourse, the involvement of the French philosopher in the educational reforms of Catherine II should be noted. The analysis of Diderot’s texts on education clearly indicates that the philosopher put a strong emphasis on changes in the methods of teaching women. As the director of St. Petersburg facility for girls he managed to partially put his project into effect.

  • Edinburgh University Library Handlist of Manuscripts
    H21 The Dashkov medals Reference Code GB 237 Coll-21 Shelfmark or location Medals No. 119 In 1777 Princess Ekaterina Romanovna Vorontsova Dashkova arrived in Scotland with her son Paul (Pavel Mikhailovich Dashkov). Her son immediately began studies at Edinburgh University, and in 1779 the Princess, still resident in Edinburgh, gave a collection of Russian commemorative medals to mark the occasion of the graduation of Paul as a Master of Arts. The medals, over 150 in number and all made of copper, were entrusted first to Professor John Robison, Professor of Natural Philosophy in the University and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, who was instructed to make a catalogue of them. In the early 1770s, Robison had very briefly held the Chair of Mathematics in the Imperial Naval Cadet Corps at Kronstadt, where he had been given the rank of Colonel. The medals were only handed back to the University after Robison's death in 1805. If a catalogue was ever made by Robison it did not survive, and a proper catalogue of the collection still has to be compiled. Some of the medals show rulers of Russia, military figures, statesmen, events of the reign of Peter the Great. Others mark events such as coronations, accessions, marriages and deaths of Russian rulers. Imperial institutions are commemorated, as are cities and buildings of the Russian empire.
