  • Memoirs of Old Moscow in the Years Before Lenin and Stalin
    Memoirs of Old Moscow in the years before Lenin and Stalin Vladimir Gilyarovsky translated and edited by Brian Murphy Michael Pursglove Memoirs of Old Moscow in the years before Lenin and Stalin Vladimir Gilyarovsky translated and edited by Brian Murphy Michael Pursglove The translators Brian Murphy: Former Professor of Russian, University of Ulster; former UN translator; translator and editor of Mikhail Sholokhov's Quiet Flows the Don. Michael Pursglove: Former Senior Lecturer in Russian, University of Exeter; translator of Ivan Turgenev's Fathers and Children, Smoke and Virgin Soil (all Alma Classics), of D.V. Grigorovich's Anton and of numerous Russian short stories. Cover Kitai-gorod from Theatre Square, photographed by Nikolai Naidenov in 1884 PREFACE The casual reader might be surprised to learn that none of the chapters of this book, such a nostalgic evocation of old Russia, were published before 1926 and that the majority of them date from 1934 or 1935. A more careful reading will reveal references to post-1917 Russia, but these are relatively few: aeroplanes, the metro, the cleaning up of the filthy River Neglinka, the demolition of the Khitrovka slum, NEP, the opening of the House of the Peasant in what had been the Hermitage Restaurant or the workers' demonstration which ends the chapter devoted to his great friend Anton Chekhov. It is, however, surprising that a book which, for all its occasional nods of approval to the Soviet regime, contains long passages devoted to Moscow's flourishing merchant class,was allowed to be published in the 1930s. This was a time when, especially after the First All-Union Congress of Soviet Writers in August 1934, Communist Party control over all branches of the Arts was consolidated.

    A SPACE CALLED HOME: HOUSING AND THE MANAGEMENT OF THE EVERYDAY IN RUSSIA, 1890-1935 BY DEIRDRE RUSCITTI HARSHMAN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2018 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Mark Steinberg, Chair Professor Diane Koenker Associate Professor John Randolph Associate Professor Kathryn Oberdeck Associate Professor Rebecca Friedman, Florida International University ABSTRACT This dissertation posits that management of the everyday is a fundamental part of the modern project. Far from being a vague or nebulous concept of what life could be, the management of the everyday was linked to concrete programs, which had a tangible effect on ordinary people and the spaces they lived and existed in. Furthermore, although the management of the everyday could be (and was) deployed by states and other institutions for ideological purposes, the overall concept of managing the everyday cannot be linked to any single ideological movement. As a result, it is possible to trace strong continuities in the management of everyday life, even in cases in which there were deep social, political, cultural, and/or economic ruptures. I examine the management of the everyday in juxtaposition to the concept of the home in late Imperial and early Soviet Russia. I propose that looking at how the home functioned during the tumultuous revolutionary period offers us a new way to understand everyday life and its continuities, even in times of great social and cultural shift. I argue that reformist and revolutionary movements in Russia placed the ‘home’ and related conceptions of belonging at the center of their campaigns to create a new everyday life, and that these campaigns over show remarkable degrees of similarity, despite belonging to radically different political traditions.

  • From Russia with Love by Pat Freeland
    From Russia With Love by Pat Freeland This is a tale of love, cold, adventure, hardship, fear, and happy endings. It is the story of a member of the management team of the Bethlehem Steel (BS) operations in Cornwall, PA and his wife. It starts as far away from Cornwall as one can get, however, and starts before he appears in the tale. Margherita (Rita) Tritschler Steffensen was born in 1909 in Moscow, Russia. This tale is based on four documents written by Mrs. Steffensen titled “Earliest Recollections”, “The Great Russians”, “Moscow, November 1917”, and “Honeymoon Trip to Kazakhstan”, in all 64 typewritten pages. Her Husband, Percy Lea (Jack) Steffensen, was born in 1904 in Winchester, Wisconsin. After graduation from Michigan College of Mining and Technology he joined Bethlehem Steel in the management training program. In addition to his professional accomplishments which included membership in the team that created the pelletizing process for lower grade ore, he was a true polymath. His hobbies included fine carpentry, photography, cars, and mycology (mushrooms). They were married on December 2, 1930. After much adventure they settled on Pine Street in the Toytown section of Cornwall with two sons, Bob and Dick. Jack joined the BS Lebanon Concentrator as an engineer, then became successively the assistant superintendent, superintendent and raw materials research engineer. Earliest Recollections Rita’s earliest recollections reflect a privileged childhood on Pokrovka Street in Moscow, of being sent to stay with Aunt Lyalya (a nickname) when her brother had diphtheria, and of being frightened of Uncle Bruno who looked like Tsar Nicholas II.

  • Animation and the National Ethos: the American Dream, Socialist Realism, and Russian Émigrés in France
    Animation and the National Ethos: the American Dream, Socialist Realism, and Russian émigrés in France by Jennifer Boivin A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies University of Alberta © Jennifer Boivin, 2017 ii Abstract Animation is seen as the innocent child of contemporary media and is often considered innocuous and juvenile in general popular culture. This might explain why it is still a marginal field. Perhaps this perception is influenced by the mass media of animation being mostly aimed at children, or at least perceived as such. This thesis specifically focuses on animated films’ aesthetic and content in relation to their particular cultural context and ethos, or national ideology. I investigate the American Dream, Soviet Socialism, and a Russian émigré ethos in France to show how seemingly similar content can carry unique ideological messages in different cultural contexts. Therefore, my film analyses examine the way animation is used as a medium to carry specific meaning on the screen, expressing this ethos. The national ethos is manifest in beliefs and aspirations of a community, culture, and era, and it promotes a certain cultural unity and order. It is a form of nationalism oriented towards utopian values rather than clear civic or political engagement. It can be politicised as well as individualised. This idealised ethos remains a largely constructed paradigm on which the regular citizen (and the audience) should model his behaviour. In this thesis, I propose that animation is not only a form of entertainment, but also a possible mechanism of social control through national ideas, responding to prevailing cultural and social conditions.
