  • 1 Joseph Stalin: Power and Ideas
    Cambridge University Press 0521616530 - Stalin: A New History Edited by Sarah Davies and James Harris Excerpt More information 1 Joseph Stalin: power and ideas Sarah Davies and James Harris Stalin, like the other ‘evil dictators’ of the twentieth century, remains the subject of enduring public fascination.1 Academic attention, however, has shifted away from the study of ‘Great Men’, including Stalin, towards the little men and women, such as the now celebrated Stepan Podlubnyi, and towards Stalinist political culture more generally.2 Ironically this is at a time when we have unprecedented access to hitherto classified material on Stalin, the individual.3 The object of this volume is to reinvigorate scholarly interest in Stalin, his ideas, and the nature of his power. Although Stalin certainly did not single-handedly determine everything about the set of policies, practices, and ideas we have come to call Stalinism, it is now indisputable that in many respects his influence was decisive. A clearer understanding of his significance will allow more precise analysis of the origins and nature of Stalinism itself. 1 Note the interest in several recent publications aimed primarily at a popular readership: Martin Amis, Koba the Dread: Laughter and the Twenty Million (London: Jonathan Cape, 2002); Simon Sebag Montefiore, Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar (London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 2003); Donald Rayfield, Stalin and his Hangmen (London: Viking, 2004). 2 Podlubnyi has been made famous by Jochen Hellbeck in a number of publications, including ‘Fashioning the Stalinist Soul: The Diary of Stepan Podlubnyi, 1931–1939’, Jahrbucher fu¨r Geschichte Osteuropas 44 (1996), 344–73.

  • Colloquium Paper January 12, 1984 STALINISM VERSUS
    Colloquium Paper January 12, 1984 STALINISM VERSUS BOLSHEVISM? A Reconsideration by Robert C. Tucker Princeton University with comment by Peter Reddaway London School of Economics and Political Science Fellows Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars Draft paper not for publication or quotation without written permission from the authors. STALINISM VERSUS BOLSHEVISM? A Reconsideration Although not of ten openly debated~ the issue I propose to address is probably the deepest and most divisive in Soviet studies. There is good ground for Stephen Cohen's characterization of it as a "quintessential his­ torical and interpretive question"! because it transcends most of the others and has to do with the whole of Russia's historical development since the Bolshevik Revolution. He formulates it as the question of the relationship "between Bolshevism and Stalinism.'' Since the very existence of something properly called Stalinism is at issue here, I prefer a somewhat different mode of formulation. There are two (and curiously, only two) basically opposed positions on the course of development that Soviet Russia took starting around 1929 when Stalin, having ousted his opponents on the Left and the Right, achieved primacy, although not yet autocratic primacy, within the Soviet regime. The first position, Which may be seen as the orthodox one, sees that course of development as the fulfillment, under new conditions, of Lenin's Bolshevism. All the main actions taken by the Soviet regime under Stalin's leadership were, in other words, the fulfillment of what had been prefigured in Leninism (as Lenin's Bolshevism came to be called after Lenin died).

    International Journal of Interdisciplinary Research Method Vol.3, No.1, pp.23-34, March 2016 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) ALL-ROUND DEVELOPMENT OF VLADIMIR LENIN’S PERSONALITY Javed Akhter, Khair Muhammad and Naila Naz M.Phil Scholar, Department of English Literature and Linguistics, University of Balochistan Quetta Balochistan Pakistan ABSTRACT: The study investigates the personality of Vladimir Lenin, in the light of Stephen R. Covey’s suggested habits, expounded in his books, “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” and “The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to greatness”, following the most eminent Russian physiologist and psychologist I. P. Pavlov’s theory of classical behaviourism. Stephen R. Covey’s thought provoking and trend breaking book: “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” suggests seven habits and paradigms to become highly effective personality. He introduced the eighth habit in his innovative and challenging book “The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness.” Therefore, his suggested eight habits, and paradigms, which are based on I. P. Pavlov’s theory of classical behaviourism. This paper would use the popped up chunks of I. P. Pavlov’s behaviourist theory to analyse how the process of habit formation influenced the effective and great personalities of the world. Therefore, the present study will enable the readers to confront Pavlov’s classical behaviourist theory of habit formation through stimuli and responses. The readers are also expected to abandon the bad habits and adopt the good ones. These infrequent but subtle hints serve as a model of effective as well as great personality of the world.

  • Ukrainian Embroidered PPE in the Time of COVID-19
    Pandemic, but Make It Fashion 27 Pandemic, but Make It Fashion: Ukrainian Embroidered PPE in the Time of COVID-19 Katya Chomitzky University of AlBerta Edmonton, CanaDa Abstract EmBroiDereD panDemic wear has Become one of the newest cultural fashion trenDs to emerge in Ukraine anD within its CanaDian Diaspora. Jis article explores the ways in which emBroidery as a traDitional form of culture retains meaning within moDern contexts, while also serving as a vehicle for experimenting with atypical applications of cultural symbols and representations. roughout the COVID-19 pandemic, cloth masks have been recommended by public health officials, including the World Health Organization, as a preventative measure to limit the spreaD of the virus. On the Basis of Digital fielDwork, I Discuss the meanings anD inspirations behind these emBroiDereD masks, while conDucting a material culture analysis of the oBjects themselves. I argue that, through a suBversion of their common purpose— to hide one’s identity— masks have been used in the pandemic as an open/performative display of culture. I contend that this Display acts as a means to promote traDition through ephemera anD assert cultural importance. Jis, coupled with the personal/private use of embroidery as a protective talisman, has fueled a trenD of emBroidereD personal protective equipment in popular culture. In this article, I examine the purpose, use, and form of these masks in order to bring light to the ways in which cultural traDitions anD objects act (and developed prevalence) as a form of pandemic response. IntroDuction As an integral part of Ukraine’s national cultural history, emBroidery retains a prolific heritage through its use in folklore, traditional costume, and various household and spiritual objects.

  • Understanding the Cold War: a Historian's Personal Reflections by Adam B
    Understanding the Cold War: A Historian's Personal Reflections by Adam B. Ulam (2000), 311 pages. This is a remarkable book for various reasons. The publisher (author's wife Mary) notes that the author did not intend this to be another scholarly work. Rather, he wrote it at the very end of his life in the form of observations on the world. To hasten its appearance he decided to publish the work himself. Sadly, he died while in the midst of making final changes. His wife, his two sons, nephews, as well as his academic friends joined in the remarkable effort to supplement the original text with their own recollections pertaining to the specific periods of his life, a poignant help in making the book more inclusive. It was published by the Leopolis Press, a Latin name for Lwów, the birthplace of Adam Ulam who was born there in 1922 to a well­to­do family of lawyers, bankers, architects, and businessmen. He was surely born under more than just one lucky star. His older brother studied mathematics at Harvard under a special 4­year program, but in the summer of 1939 he revisited Lwów, with the return planned for September 3rd aboard the MS BATORY. The father of the boys made frantic efforts to get a U.S. student visa for Adam, just for one year, and luckily he succeeded. Suddenly the sailing date was changed to mid­August, and both sons bid their father good­bye, sailing from Gdynia. The last time they saw their father was when they waved to him at the Lwów railway station.

The Place of Communism in Chinese History: Reflections on the Past and Future of the People’s Republic of China Maurice Meisner I. Introduction Critics of Mao Zedong often compared the late Chairman to Qin Shihuangdi, the First Emperor who in the year 221 B.C. united the vari- ous feudal kingdoms of ancient China into a centralized empire under the Qin dynasty, the first in a long 2000-year line of imperial regimes. In traditional Confucian historiography, the First Emperor is portrayed as the epitome of the evil and tyrannical ruler—not least of all because he burned Confucian books and buried alive Confucian scholars.

    _______________27 June 2021_______________________________________Holy Eucharist Cathedral Parish Bulletin HOLY EUCHARIST CATHEDRAL КАФЕДРАЛЬНИЙ СОБОР ПРЕСВЯТОЇ ЄВХАРИСТІЇ _________________________________________________________________ 501 - 4th Avenue, New Westminster, BC V3L 1S2 The Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of New Westminster Apostolic Administrator: Most Rev. David Motiuk П’ята неділя після П’ятидесятниці Fifth Sunday after Pentecost Today’s Gospel is one of the most tragic of any and all of Scripture because it really, in a nutshell, shows how people’s lives are lost. They’re lost by just living their life, not thinking of God, doing what they want to do, and then they die. And most of them will not know what they have missed until the Judgment. What a tragedy. This tragedy is happening in our lives too. Every time that we choose the wrong way, we are like the people or the Geresenes because we are losing an opportunity for sanctity, for blessedness. We must, when we can, do what is right. Because there are so many times we do what is wrong, we must seize upon the moment. The Lord came so that we would no longer be sinners. But we must answer the question every day: What are we to do with Him? Those who do not love God answer it in such a way as to say, Go away. Not in so many words. But in the way they live their lives and their priorities what they think is important and what they do, they say, Go away. Those who love God, they beg Him to stay. So let us be like the Apostles and answer this question as they did.
