    BORIS SAPIR JEWISH SOCIALISTS AROUND VPERED1 SOCIALIST PROPAGANDA AMONG JEWS AND VPERED The importance of the "Lavrists" or "Vperedovtsy", named after the publication Vpered (Forward) (i873-1877) founded and edited by Peter Lavrovich Lavrov, in the evolution of the socialist ideas and groups in Russia has been recognized by historians from Alphonse Thun to Franco Venturi.2 The journal's role in the dissemination of the socialist credo among Russian Jews has never been seriously disputed, although seldom recorded in concrete terms. Of the leading Lavrists only Nicolas Kuliabko-Koretskii left memoirs.3 But he, as well as Lavrov who compiled an interesting outline of the main phases of the "Narodnichestvo"4 were not exceedingly interested in the Jewish aspect of their oeuvre.

There was no reason for them to indicate and to dwell on the Jewish origin of socialist Jews in their midst who never associated themselves with any Jewish cause or aspirations.

  • The Russian Revolution: a Wider Perspective
    - THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION: A WIDER PERSPECTIVE PREFACE to the Source Collection on the Russian Revolution This is a collection of sources provided by members of the Euroclio network and curated by three members of the Historiana team. It Insert Source here: is not a comprehensive overview of the Russian Revolution. Its purpose is to provide some insights into how politicians, diplomats, senior military officers, other officials, revolutionaries, eye witnesses, bystanders, newspaper editors and journalists, ordinary people and even children perceived some of the key events in Russia from January 1917 through to December 1922. We hope that this transnational and multiperspective collection will widen students’ understanding of what happened in Russia in those critical years. The sources have been provided by history teachers and historians from 13 countries, including the Russian Federation, neighbouring states that in 1917 were part of the Russian Empire, states that were then allies or enemies of Russia and even states which were neutral non-combatants in 1917. To obtain these sources the contributors turned to their own national digital and physical archives. Where necessary, contributors summarised texts in English.

  • A Revolution That Has Not Happened: the Potential of the Russian Nationalist Revival
    DOI: 10.12797/9788376389042.05 Joachim Diec Jagiellonian University, Kraków Chapter 4 A Revolution That Has Not Happened: The Potential of the Russian Nationalist Revival Introductory remarks World history abounds with revolutionary political changes. What does not seem important about that topic is the theoretical framework, which allows many scholars to discuss whether a political series of events can be put into the conceptual, systemic framework of “revolution” or not. What is widely accepted among theoreticians is the conviction that a revolution is a radical and anti-systemic political change. The theoretical understanding of revolution is related to the legitimacy of authority. The Weberian tradition includes 3 types of authority: traditional, legal-rational, and charismatic (comp. the critical remarks of Blau, 1963). According to it, a revolution can either violently break the people’s readiness to obey commands of a culturally rooted power or overthrow the old regime by acting according to a new system of laws, which replaces 68 Joachim Diec the previous one without a sense of remorse. The new leaders and their style can often be defined as charismatic but theoretically we can easily think of a new, even more charismatic avant-garde, which steals the show: in revolutions a more radical kind of modernity usually replaces the previous style, which is perceived to be not revolutionary enough. In other words, revolutions undermine the base of all the three types of authority. However, what really matters is the fact that after a revolution one’s smaller or bigger world will never be the same. Revolutions are incongruent with Tancredi’s (a character of Lampedusa’s Leopard) conviction that “For everything to stay the same, everything must change”.

  • Marx, Die Russische Revolution Und Ihre Folgen | Adrian Zimmermann
    Marx, die russische Revolution und ihre Folgen Von Adrian Zimmermann Russland war bis in die zweite Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts ein rückstän- diger, von einer despotischen Monarchie regierter Agrarstaat. 1848 waren Marx und Engels deshalb überzeugt, dass die demokratische Revolution nur in einem Krieg gegen Russland, den bei den Demokraten verhassten »Gendarmen Europas« siegen könne (Rjasanow 1909, 1–5). Doch gerade seine Rückständigkeit führte zur Niederlage des Zaren- reichs im Krimkrieg (1853–1856). Das Regime begann nun die Moderni- sierung des Riesenreichs unter anderem mit einer Landreform voranzu- treiben. Doch auch nach der sogenannten Abschaffung der Leibeigenschaft 1861 wurden die russischen Bauern und Bäuerinnen keineswegs zu freien Eigentümern. Das Land blieb überwiegend Eigentum adliger Grossgrund- besitzer, des autokratischen Staats und der Kirche. Die russische bäuerliche Landbevölkerung erhielt Nutzungsrechte am Boden, für die sie Grund- zinsen zu entrichten hatte, die bewusst höher lagen als der Bodenertrag. Trotz oder gerade wegen der halbherzigen Reformen wuchs der Zulauf zur revolutionären Bewegung. Diese bestand anfänglich vor allem aus Intel- lektuellen, den Narodniki (›VolkstümlerInnen‹), welche Bildungsarbeit in der überwiegend bäuerlichen Bevölkerung leisteten und gezielte Attentate auf Exponenten der Unterdrückungsapparate verübten. Nun erwarteten Marx und Engels zunehmend den baldigen Ausbruch einer Revolution in Russland. Sie unterhielten rege Kontakte zu den im westeuropäischen Exil lebenden russischen RevolutionärInnen,

  • The Odyssey of Nicholas Russel Ronald Hayashida and David
    The Odyssey of Nicholas Russel Ronald Hayashida and David Kittelson The Senate President of Hawaii's first Territorial Legislature was Nicholas Russel, a peripatetic Russian revolutionary who founded socialist movements throughout Europe and, after his Island sojourn, continued his tireless activities in Japan, the Philippines, and China. He mastered eight European languages and spoke Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese, and several Philippine dialects. "He was an internationalist," declared I. I. Popov, "not in words, but in deeds, in the broadest meaning of this word—a man of humanity."1 Russel was born as Nikolai Konstantinovich Sudzilovskii on December 3, 1850 in Mogilev, Byelorussia. After entering Petersburg University in 1868 as a law student, he transferred to the medical school at Kiev University. During his student years Sudzilovskii embarked on what was to become a lifetime career as a political activist.2 In 1874 he fled Russia, sought by the czarist police for violation of Article 193 of Russia's Criminal Code—a prohibition against revolutionary propaganda and agitation. Sudzilovskii was described on a "most wanted" list as: Former student of Kiev University, son of a retired official of the provincial city Mogilev. Age—25, height—a little lower than average; hair—light brown; face—clear; nose, rather large; small, sparse beard; slovenly dressed; his suit resembles a factory-hand's outfit.3 He went to London where he interned for a while at St. George's Hospital and once shared a speaker's platform at a rally with Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.4 Sudzilovskii later turned up in Geneva where he married his first wife by whom he had two daughters.
