  • Stalin's Baku Curve: a Detonating Mixture of Crime and Revolution
    Stalin’s Baku Curve: A Detonating Mixture of Crime and Revolution by Fuad Akhundov A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Education Leadership Higher and Adult Education, OISE University of Toronto © Copyright by Fuad Akhundov 2016 Stalin’s Baku Curve: A Detonating Mixture of Crime and Revolution Fuad Akhundov Master of Arts in Education Leadership Higher and Adult Education, OISE University of Toronto 2016 Abstract The Stalin’s Baku Curve, a Detonating Mix of Crime and Revolution presents a brief insight into the early period of activities of one of the most ominous political figures of the 20th century – Joseph Stalin. The major emphasis of the work is made on Stalin’s period in Baku in 1902-1910. A rapidly growing industrial hub providing almost half of the world’s crude oil, Baku was in the meantime a brewery of revolutionary ideas. Heavily imbued with crime, corruption and ethnic tensions, the whole environment provided an excellent opportunity for Stalin to undergo his “revolutionary universities” through extortion, racketeering, revolutionary propaganda and substantial incarceration in Baku’s famous Bailov prison. Along with this, the Baku period brought Stalin into close contact with the then Russian secret police, Okhranka. This left an indelible imprint on Stalin’s character and ruling style as an irremovable leader of the Soviet empire for almost three decades. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This work became possible due to the tremendous input of several scholars whom I want to hereby recognize. The first person I owe the paper Stalin’s Baku Curve, a Detonating Mix of Crime and Revolution to is Simon Sebag Montefiore, an indefatigable researcher of former Soviet and pre-Soviet history whom I had a pleasure of working with in Baku back in 1995.

Fiona McIntosh-Varjabédian Lille3 Université Lille 3, Alithila Names as Loci Memoris: Naming-Telling-Remembering in a Global Age Nay, his works may perish like those of Orpheus or Pythagoras; but he himself, in his name, in the footprint of his being, remains, like Orpheus or Pythagoras, undestroyed, indestructible. (Edward Bulwer Lytton) Do democracy and republicanism require a new history based on convergent data, on sociological and economical phenomena and not on so-called great events accomplished by so-called leaders? During the 18th Century already, Voltaire’s title Essai sur les mœurs, that can be translated as an Essay on Customs, and Montesquieu’s Esprit des lois (The Spirit of the laws) both indicate a genuine interest in global trends in religious behaviour or in law-making in various geographical areas and civilisations. Their philosophical reading of History already marks a decided shift from the chronicles of battles and successions of reigning dynasties that frame the historical narrative. A Century later, even historians or thinkers with very moderately democratic ideas, to say the least, such as Tocqueville in his L’Ancien Régime et la Révolution (1856), or Hyppolyte Taine in his Les Origines de la France contemporaine, L’Ancien Régime (1875), do not focus their attention on the leaders but collect a huge range of testimonies, excerpts from diaries and letters, all from anonymous sources, to define the atmosphere that led to the great turmoil of 1789 and to the upheaval of the old monarchic and aristocratic order.

Like any established category, it bears a history of its own characterised by founding assumptions, conceptual possibilities and lasting interpretive habits. Stephen Kotkin’s work has played a special role in framing the kind of scholarship this category has enabled and the kind of modernity it has assigned to twentieth- century Russia. Kotkin’s 1995 Magnetic Mountain introduced the concept of ‘socialist modernity’. His continued work with the concept in his
