  • Moscow by Night: Musical Subcultures, Identity Formation, and Cultural Evolution in Russia, 1977–2008
    MOSCOW BY NIGHT: MUSICAL SUBCULTURES, IDENTITY FORMATION, AND CULTURAL EVOLUTION IN RUSSIA, 1977–2008 BY GREGORY R. KVEBERG DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Diane Koenker, Chair Professor Kathryn Oberdeck Professor Craig Koslofsky Professor John McKay Professor Mark Steinberg Abstract This dissertation examines the history of musical subcultures in Moscow from 1977 to 2008. It argues that subcultures were not forces for revolutionary change, or natural loci of opposition to the state. Only during the brief period from 1982 to 1984 did the state actively seek to impose a unitary vision of culture on the Soviet Union. Throughout the rest of these three decades, the state allowed a significant range of subcultural expression. This policy won either loyalty or toleration for Brezhnev’s government from a majority of Muscovite subculturalists. It proved similarly successful when re- introduced by Vladimir Putin. This dissertation asserts that this policy of tolerance allowed official culture and subcultures to evolve together in a dialectical process. This work also charts key trends in the development of subcultural identities in Moscow. Subculturalists responded to shifting political and economic situations. They generally greeted the arrival of the market with ambivalence, as many felt that musical legitimacy required artists to eschew commercial success. Subculturalists eagerly embraced the Internet, and used it to form connections to other groups of subculturalists and to archive collective memories. Contact with the west produced a variety of different responses among subculturalists, and these responses speak to larger divisions within Russian society.

  • The Kitchen Maid That Will Rule the State: Domestic
    THE KITCHEN MAID THAT WILL RULE THE STATE: DOMESTIC SERVICE AND THE SOVIET REVOLUTIONARY PROJECT, 1917-1941 by ALISSA KLOTS A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History Written under the direction of Jochen Hellbeck And approved by ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey January, 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Kitchen Maid That Will Rule the State: Domestic Service and the Soviet Revolutionary Project, 1917-1941 By ALISSA KLOTS Dissertation Director: Jochen Hellbeck This dissertation examines domestic service during the first two decades of the Soviet regime as a symbol of revolutionary transformation, as gendered politics of labor, and as experience. In spite of the strong association between domestic service and exploitation, the Soviet regime did not ban or shun paid domestic labor; it turned domestic service into a laboratory of revolutionary politics, to ultimately embrace it as an essential part of socialist economy. At the center of the study lies the trope of the kitchen maid that will rule the state – a misquote from Lenin that turned into a call for transformation addressed to “victims of tsarist oppression,” particularly women. During the first decade after the revolution, transformation implied gaining proletarian consciousness. Domestic servants were to overcome their servile mentality and become workers by developing awareness of their labor rights, engaging in union activities and inscribing themselves into the revolutionary narrative. With the onset of the ii industrialization campaign in the late 1920s, domestic workers were to be transformed once again, this time to join the ranks of industrial workers.

  • Slang Is Even Harder As It Can Be Extremely Difficult for the Uninitiated to Gauge When, Where, and with Whom Slang Is Appropriate
    To Myroslava. Someday this book is gonna embarrass the hell out of you. Acknowledgments The authors would like to thank coffee. Without you, none of our efforts would ever reach fruition. We are eternally grateful. And eternally wired. USING THIS BOOK Russian is just about the coolest language in the world. But you already know that because you’ve been studying the language for a while now, right? At least I hope you have, because I didn’t write this book with the novice in mind. I designed the book to bring your Russian to the next level, a level usually reserved for natives and longtime expats. With that in mind, I’ve tried to give you all the dirty words and insider terms that your college Russian professor would never teach you. So you’re not gonna find any basic vocabulary or grammar lessons, or ways to ask somebody where the library is. It’s assumed that you know all that crap already. But if you’re looking to tell somebody to fuck off or that they’ve got a nice ass, then you’re in the right place, my friend. All of this is to say that I hope you already more or less know your way around the language before jumping into this book. It is a complex language to master even at a fairly basic level. Learning the slang is even harder as it can be extremely difficult for the uninitiated to gauge when, where, and with whom slang is appropriate. As the old saying goes: when in doubt, leave it out.

Insight for this description have been obtained from several source grammars in German, Russian, Erzya, Finnish, Estonian and Hungarian, as well as bounteous dis- cussions in the understanding of the language with native speakers and grammarians 1993–2010. Introductory information includes the discussion of the status of Erzya as a lan- guage, the enumeration of phonemes generally used in the transliteration of texts and an in-depth description of adnominal morphology. The reader is then made aware of typological and Erzya-specifi c work in the study of adnominal-type person. Methods of description draw upon the prerequisite information required in the de- velopment of a two-level morphological analyzer, as can be obtained in the typological description of allomorphic variation in the target language.
