Projecting Bolshevik Unity, Ritualizing Party Debate: the Thirteenth Party Congress, 1924
Acta Slavica Iaponica, Tomus 31, pp. 55‒76 Projecting Bolshevik Unity, Ritualizing Party Debate: The Thirteenth Party Congress, 1924 TAKIGUCHI Junya The Thirteenth Congress of the Bolshevik Party – the first Party congress since V. I. Lenin’s death – was convened in Moscow in May 1924, thirteen months after the Twelfth Congress.1 The Congress promoted an atmosphere of mourning by adorning the auditorium of the Bol’shoi Palace in the Kremlin (the venue of the plenary session) with portraits of Lenin. The accompany- ing publicity emphasized how the great Party leader had uncompromisingly worked for the Soviet state throughout his life.2 In preparing the Congress re- ports, party officials scrutinized Lenin’s writings and speeches, and the Central Committee reports constantly referred to “what Lenin said” in order to repre- sent itself as the legitimate heir of Leninism.3 Nearly all speakers representing the central Party institutions mentioned Lenin’s name in their reports. Grigorii Zinoviev said in his opening speech that the Party ought to be united, and should be “based on Leninism.”4 However, the Thirteenth Congress was not merely one of grief and con- dolence. The Bolshevik leadership orchestrated the Congress to project Party unity, to propagate the achievements and the glorious future of the Soviet gov- ernment, and to mobilize Soviet citizens into Bolshevik state-building. There were few attempts to inject this kind of drama before 1924 when the Party congress instead acted as a genuine debating forum with little propaganda.5 The Thirteenth Congress hence represented a new departure in terms of the structure, function and significance in the history of the congress during the early Soviet era. -
The Historical Legacy for Contemporary Russian Foreign Policy
CHAPTER 1 The Historical Legacy for Contemporary Russian Foreign Policy o other country in the world is a global power simply by virtue of geogra- N phy.1 The growth of Russia from an isolated, backward East Slavic principal- ity into a continental Eurasian empire meant that Russian foreign policy had to engage with many of the world’s principal centers of power. A Russian official trying to chart the country’s foreign policy in the 18th century, for instance, would have to be concerned simultaneously about the position and actions of the Manchu Empire in China, the Persian and Ottoman Empires (and their respec- tive vassals and subordinate allies), as well as all of the Great Powers in Europe, including Austria, Prussia, France, Britain, Holland, and Sweden. This geographic reality laid the basis for a Russian tradition of a “multivector” foreign policy, with leaders, at different points, emphasizing the importance of rela- tions with different parts of the world. For instance, during the 17th century, fully half of the departments of the Posolskii Prikaz—the Ambassadors’ Office—of the Muscovite state dealt with Russia’s neighbors to the south and east; in the next cen- tury, three out of the four departments of the College of International Affairs (the successor agency in the imperial government) covered different regions of Europe.2 Russian history thus bequeaths to the current government a variety of options in terms of how to frame the country’s international orientation. To some extent, the choices open to Russia today are rooted in the legacies of past decisions. -

II Jornadas De Sociología De Mendoza Universidad Nacional De Cuyo
II Jornadas de Sociología de Mendoza Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales 27 al 28 de agosto de 2015 Mesa 14: La sociología y las ciencias humanas frente a la guerra y los conflictos armados. Problemas teórico – metodológicos y abordajes de procesos concretos, de la antigüedad al presente. Ponencia: “Resistencia armada en Dinamarca durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial”. Autor: Pablo Bonavena La insurgencia y la contrainsurgencia son dos tipos de lucha que lograron gran expansión durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.1 La insurgencia dentro de este conflicto fue conceptualizada, en general, como “resistencia”. En el contexto de esta conflagración la noción no abarca solamente a la oposición armada, sino que incluye otras formas de confrontación contra el poder nazi y sus aliados fascistas, tanto en sus propios países como en aquellos que asaltaron militarmente con fines de conquista.2 Sin duda es arduo determinar el peso de la lucha armada irregular, con sus diferentes grados de organización, dentro del conjunto de la guerra. Además. discernir sobre si la resistencia violenta fue más crucial que la pacífica parece un camino poco fecundo, habida cuenta de que ambas alternativas, visto el conflicto de conjunto, se implican mutuamente, se eslabonan y confluyen objetivamente contra un mismo enemigo, potenciándose, aunque subjetivamente sean vividas como paralelas, distantes o antagónicas. Seguramente ambas formas combinadas, por ejemplo, repercuten con cierta contundencia sobre la fuerza moral de los contendientes. Entre los versados teóricos militares las opiniones sobre el impacto de la insurgencia armada en el curso de la Segunda Guerra varían. El teórico de la estrategia indirecta, Liddell Hart ofreció una evaluación calificándola como “campañas laterales”, que sólo obtuvieron fuerza cuando se combinaban con los ejércitos regulares que enfrentaban frontalmente al enemigo y los obligaran a emplear sus reservas. -
Class, Race and Gender Amongst White Volunteers, 1939-1953
From War to Workplace: Class, Race and Gender amongst White Volunteers, 1939-1953 By Neil Roos Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Faculty of Human and Social Sciences at the University of North West Supervisor: Dr. Tim Clynick Mafikeng, North West Province August 2001 To Dick Abstract Through a case study of the war and post-war experiences of those who volunteered to serve in the Second World War, the thesis explores aspects of the social and cultural history of white men in South Africa. The thesis begins from the premise that class and ethnicity, the major binary categories conventionally used to explain developments in white South African society, are unable to account for the history of white men who volunteered to serve in the Second World War. It argues that the history of these volunteers is best understood in the context of racist culture, which can be defined as an evolving consensus amongst whites in South Africa on the political, social and cultural primacy of whiteness. It argues that, when the call to arms came in 1939, it was answered mainly by white men from those little traditions incorporated politically into the segregationist colonial order, largely through the explicit emphases of white privilege and the cultural hegemony of whiteness. Their decision to enlist was underscored by an awareness that volunteering entailed a set of rights and duties, which centred on their expectations of post-war "social justice." Chapter three examines some of the highly idealised and implicitly racialised ways in which, during wartime, white troops expanded their understanding of social justice. -

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. -
