  • Catherine the Great and the Development of a Modern Russian Sovereignty, 1762-1796
    Catherine the Great and the Development of a Modern Russian Sovereignty, 1762-1796 By Thomas Lucius Lowish A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Victoria Frede-Montemayor, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor Kinch Hoekstra Spring 2021 Abstract Catherine the Great and the Development of a Modern Russian Sovereignty, 1762-1796 by Thomas Lucius Lowish Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Victoria Frede-Montemayor, Chair Historians of Russian monarchy have avoided the concept of sovereignty, choosing instead to describe how monarchs sought power, authority, or legitimacy. This dissertation, which centers on Catherine the Great, the empress of Russia between 1762 and 1796, takes on the concept of sovereignty as the exercise of supreme and untrammeled power, considered legitimate, and shows why sovereignty was itself the major desideratum. Sovereignty expressed parity with Western rulers, but it would allow Russian monarchs to bring order to their vast domain and to meaningfully govern the lives of their multitudinous subjects. This dissertation argues that Catherine the Great was a crucial figure in this process. Perceiving the confusion and disorder in how her predecessors exercised power, she recognized that sovereignty required both strong and consistent procedures as well as substantial collaboration with the broadest possible number of stakeholders. This was a modern conception of sovereignty, designed to regulate the swelling mechanisms of the Russian state. Catherine established her system through careful management of both her own activities and the institutions and servitors that she saw as integral to the system.

  • Representations of Antique Arms and Armour in the Architectural Decor of St. Petersburg
    HISTORIA I ŚWIAT, nr 6 (2017) ISSN 2299 - 2464 Sergey NIKONENKO (Saint Petersburg State University, Russia) Representations Of Antique Arms and Armour in the Architectural decor of St. Petersburg Keywords: Architectural décor, Helmets, Armour, Saint Petersburg, Classicism Saint Petersburg has been the capital of Russian empire in 1703 – 1917. It is one of the most beautiful cities all over the world with majestic architectural ensembles. This article is devoted to the representations of antique arms in St.Petersburg’s architectural décor. I want to add that this décor has not been studied completely. But I think that it is very useful to look at St.Petersburg’s military architectural décor as the kind of retrospective and academic style in new European arts. There are two historical periods in St.Petersburg’s architecture when architects and sculptors used ancient military décor. First of them is Classicism style (1770-1840). This is the time of constructing the main architectural ensembles and squares in the centre of St.Petersburg in so called “empire style”. Second of them is New Classicism style (1904-1916). It was the time of private buildings, especially of banks and dwelling houses. This article has two parts. In First part I propose the typology of buildings and architectural décor. Then I give the full list of St.Petersburg’s buildings with ancient military décor (compiled and published for the first time). In Second Part I will try to comment some main examples of ancient military décor. I. There are several kinds of images in ancient military décor: - Gods (Athena, Ares, Apollo, Hermes) - Heroes (Achilles, Ajax, etc.) - Emperors (Alexander the Great, Caesar, etc.) - Simple soldiers and horsemen.

The repeated reference to the psychological force of the city so evident in work by Pushkin, Gogal, Dostoevsky, to mention only a few, stand in harsh contrast to the technical accounts of canal and bridge building, the city’s extension toward the Gulf of Finland, the building of the world’s deepest metro system, the industrialization of the city during the Soviet period, and the rebuilding of the city after its destruction in the Second World War.

Famous architects of that time participated in con- struction and creation of the architectural image of Saint A. S. Pushkin, a fragment from the poem Petersburg. Among them were: George Mattarnovi, “The Bronze Horseman” Jean-Baptiste Le Blond, Domenico Trezzini, and Giaco- mo Quarenghi. In the course of its existence, the city changed its name three times. At the beginning of the World War I (1914) it became Petrograd. In 1924 it was renamed Leningrad in honor of V. I. Lenin at the workers’ initia- tive. In 1991 the historical name of Saint Petersburg was given back to the city. Saint Petersburg is often called Venice of the North, as it is located on the islands of the Neva River estuary, and the rivers and canals, the number of which amounts to over 90, give it a special charm in any time of the year.
