My doctoral adviser, Alexander DeConde, gently diverted me from the well-traveled path of the Cold War and en­ couraged me to venture into the 1920s instead, for which I am very grateful. He also read all of the drafts of the dissertation from which this book emerged, and provided me with invaluable advice, assistance, and support. Professors W. Elliot Brownlee and Joachim Remak were also wonderfully helpful members of my dis­ sertation committee. I would very much like to thank those who commented on the book in in its various forms thereafter: David McFadden, Christine White, Tibor Frank, Jonathan Coopersmith, Linda Killen, and Michael Sherry. Michael J. Hogan, editor of Diplomatic History, kindly gave permission for me to use por­ tions of an article I had published in that journal. Colleagues Nina Bakisian, Fiona Harris Stoertz, Sina Dubovoj, Thorn Armstrong, Eduard Mark, and Rorin Platt also offered their encouragement and support, as did the participants of the 1989-1991 Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation Fellows Conference. As this work evolved from dissertation to manuscript, I enjoyed the frequent inspiration, good humor, and a.ctive mentoring of.my history department col­ leagues at St. Joseph's University. And as the manuscript turned into a monograph, I benefited from the gracious suggestions, careful oversight, and efficient opera­ tions of the editorial, production, and marketing staff at the University Press of Kentucky. Researching the many collections used in this book would have been far more daunting a task without the generous assistance offered by librarians and archivists in the United States and Russia, including Dane Hartgrove and John Taylor at the National Archives; Dwight Miller and Shirley Sondergard at the Hoover Presidential Library; Verne Newton, Raymond Teichman, and Robert Parks at the Roosevelt Library; Joanne Hohler at the Wisconsin State Historical Society; Chris Baer, Michael Nash, and Marjorie McNinch at the Hagley Library; Elaine Barr at the Swarthmore College Peace Collection; Jennifer Rollo at the Eisenhower Library ofJohns Hopkins University; Barbara Natanson at the Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division; Bill Gorman at the New York State Archives; and Chris Dixon and Pat Weaver at Drexel Library, St. Joseph's Uni­ versity. Also of great assistance were the staffs at the Federal Bureau of Investigation Reading Room; the National Archives; the Library of Congress; the x ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Seeley Mudd Manuscript Library at Princeton University; the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution, and Peace; the Russian State Archival Administration; the Russian Foreign Ministry Archive; the Lenin Library; and the Central Party Archive. This book would not have been possible without the financial support of the Kennan Institute ofAdvanced Russian Studies; the Hoover Library Associa­ tion; the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute; the Hagley Museum and Library; the Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation; the Society for Histori­ ans ofAmerican Foreign Relations; the History Department, Faculty Development program, and the Institute on Trade, Diplomacy and Development at St. Joseph's University; and the history department, the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center, and the graduate division at the University of California, Santa Barbara. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my family, including my late father, Capt. C. William Sibley, who regularly encouraged me to "suck in the valuable instruction" but died too early to see what I would do with it; my mother, Margaret M. Sibley, who banished the television to the intemperate clime of the attic and pushed books on us instead; and my siblings, who were always willing to dialogue about early Soviet-American relations. Above all, my deepest and fondest appreciation is to my husband, Mitch Siegel, who sustained me with loving encouragement, editorial advice, technical assistance, and humor throughout the seven years we shared our lives with this book. INTRODUCTION In 1919 anticommunist sentiment in America was at a crest. That year saw the founding of the American Communist party and also the deportation of boatloads of suspected Bolsheviks from the United States. Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer and his ambitious assistant, J. Edgar Hoover, laid their plans then for the large-scale raids against alleged Soviet sympathizers that were launched early in 1920. Palmer did not escape unscathed. On June 2, 1919, his house at 2132 R Street in Washington was blown up by an anarchist. Across the street, windows also shattered at the home ofAssistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roose­ velt. 1 At the same time, over ten thousand American troops were occupying parts of Russia, against Soviet volition; as part of an inter-Allied military intervention. Yet this tumultuous environment did not prevent the Soviet People's Com­ missariat of Foreign Affairs (Narkomindel) from dispatching an unofficial "am­ bassador" tq the United States in the spring of 1919. Despite an existing ban on Soviet trade during the Red Scare, Ludwig C.A.K. Martens, an engineer by train­ ing, was instructed to open a New York bureau in order to acquire American goods. In the aftermath of the Bolshevik revolution, Russian leaders were con­ vinced that their country's future depended upon economic and political links with the United States. Lenin realized that there were marked differences between the outlooks of reluctant government officials and those of profit-seeking busi­ nessmen, and he sought to take advantage of them. He believed that by persuad­ ing American businessmen, the .representatives of doomed imperialism, to contribute to the development of Soviet Russia, he would "promote the buildup of an international- imperialist contradiction."2 Nearly half a century later, Soviet historian V.A. Shishkin offered a very similar analysis: "A striking example of im­ perialist contradiction between the U.S.A. and the other great powers on the ques­ tion of economic relations with Russia was the paradoxical fact of secret, separate contacts ofAmerican agents with Soviet representatives."3 This book investigates the early Soviet campaign for American trade and recognition, as well as the American response, official and unofficial. It suggests that the prerecognition era, like the post-Cold War era, embraced a Russian­ American relationship that was evolving rather than rigidly polarized.

    REVIEW OF WALL STREET AND THE BOLSHEVIK REVOLUTION1 BY ANTONY C. SUTTON (CLAIRVIEW BOOKS, UK 2011, 232 PAGES) CHRISTIAN RIPPEL One barrier to mature understanding of recent history is the notion that all capitalists are the bitter and unswerving enemies of all Marxists and socialists. This erroneous idea originated with Karl Marx and was undoubtedly useful to his purposes. In fact, the idea is nonsense. There has been a continuing, albeit concealed, alliance between international political capitalists and international revolu- tionary socialists —to their mutual benefit. (Sutton 2011, p .17) The open-minded reader should bear two clues in mind: monopo- ly capitalists are the bitter enemies of laissez-faire entrepreneurs; and, given the weaknesses of socialist central planning, the totali- tarian socialist state is a perfect captive market for monopoly capi- talists, if an alliance can be made with the socialist powerbrokers. (Sutton 2011, p.17) I ABOUT ANTONY SUTTON Antony Sutton (1925–2002) was a British-American scholar in the libertarian tradition and professor of economics and history at Cal- ifornia State University as well as research fellow at Stanford Uni- 1 The page references of Sutton 2011 refer to the publication of the book Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution in 2011 by Clairview (218 Pages).

    CHANGING PERCEPTIONS OF IL DUCE TRACING POLITICAL TRENDS IN THE ITALIAN-AMERICAN MEDIA DURING THE EARLY YEARS OF FASCISM by Ryan J. Antonucci Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the History Program YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY August, 2013 Changing Perceptions of il Duce Tracing Political Trends in the Italian-American Media during the Early Years of Fascism Ryan J.

Sanders, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies Date Ryan J. Antonucci © 2013 iii ABSTRACT Scholars of Italian-American history have traditionally asserted that the ethnic community’s media during the 1920s and 1930s was pro-Fascist leaning. This thesis challenges that narrative by proving that moderate, and often ambivalent, opinions existed at one time, and the shift to a philo-Fascist position was an active process. Using a survey of six Italian-language sources from diverse cities during the inauguration of Benito Mussolini’s regime, research shows that interpretations varied significantly. One of the newspapers, Il Cittadino Italo-Americano (Youngstown, Ohio) is then used as a case study to better understand why events in Italy were interpreted in certain ways.

    JEWISH STATISTICS 277 JEWISH STATISTICS The statistics of Jews in the world rest largely upon estimates. In Russia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and a few other countries, official figures are obtainable. In the main, however, the num- bers given are based upon estimates repeated and added to by one statistical authority after another. For the statistics given below various authorities have been consulted, among them the " Statesman's Year Book" for 1910, the English " Jewish Year Book " for 5670-71, " The Jewish Ency- clopedia," Jildische Statistik, and the Alliance Israelite Uni- verselle reports. THE UNITED STATES ESTIMATES As the census of the United States has, in accordance with the spirit of American institutions, taken no heed of the religious convictions of American citizens, whether native-born or natural- ized, all statements concerning the number of Jews living in this country are based upon estimates. The Jewish population was estimated— In 1818 by Mordecai M. Noah at 3,000 In 1824 by Solomon Etting at 6,000 In 1826 by Isaac C. Harby at 6,000 In 1840 by the American Almanac at 15,000 In 1848 by M.

  • Title of Thesis: ABSTRACT CLASSIFYING BIAS
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: CLASSIFYING BIAS IN LARGE MULTILINGUAL CORPORA VIA CROWDSOURCING AND TOPIC MODELING Team BIASES: Brianna Caljean, Katherine Calvert, Ashley Chang, Elliot Frank, Rosana Garay Jáuregui, Geoffrey Palo, Ryan Rinker, Gareth Weakly, Nicolette Wolfrey, William Zhang Thesis Directed By: Dr. David Zajic, Ph.D. Our project extends previous algorithmic approaches to finding bias in large text corpora. We used multilingual topic modeling to examine language-specific bias in the English, Spanish, and Russian versions of Wikipedia. In particular, we placed Spanish articles discussing the Cold War on a Russian-English viewpoint spectrum based on similarity in topic distribution. We then crowdsourced human annotations of Spanish Wikipedia articles for comparison to the topic model. Our hypothesis was that human annotators and topic modeling algorithms would provide correlated results for bias. However, that was not the case. Our annotators indicated that humans were more perceptive of sentiment in article text than topic distribution, which suggests that our classifier provides a different perspective on a text’s bias.

The decade that followed was bookended by interruptions to mass immigration, first brought on by the eruption of war in Europe, and then in 1924 by the virtual banning of mass immigration through the National Origins Act. The years in between were punctuated by bitter labor conflicts—the Colorado miners’ strike, the Mesabi Range Strike, the Great Steel Strike of 1919 to name but a few —in which immigrants predominated. It was a decade of intense ideological conflict for the loyalty of immigrants among competing currents of working class radicalism and patriotic nationalism— conflicts exacerbated by the loyalty drive of WWI, the Russian Revolution, and revolutions and counter-revolutions in Europe.

  • Race, Migration, and Chinese and Irish Domestic Servants in the United States, 1850-1920
    An Intimate World: Race, Migration, and Chinese and Irish Domestic Servants in the United States, 1850-1920 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Andrew Theodore Urban IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advised by Donna Gabaccia and Erika Lee June 2009 © Andrew Urban, 2009 Acknowledgements While I rarely discussed the specifics of my dissertation with my fellow graduate students and friends at the University of Minnesota – I talked about basically everything else with them. No question or topic was too large or small for conversations that often carried on into the wee hours of the morning. Caley Horan, Eric Richtmyer, Tim Smit, and Aaron Windel will undoubtedly be lifelong friends, mahjong and euchre partners, fantasy football opponents, kindred spirits at the CC Club and Mortimer’s, and so on. I am especially grateful for the hospitality that Eric and Tim (and Tank the cat) offered during the fall of 2008, as I moved back and forth between Syracuse and Minneapolis. Aaron and I had the fortune of living in New York City at the same time in our graduate careers, and I have fond memories of our walks around Stuyvesant Park in the East Village and Prospect Park in Brooklyn, and our time spent with the folks of Tuesday night. Although we did not solve all of the world’s problems, we certainly tried. Living in Brooklyn, I also had the opportunity to participate in the short-lived yet productive “Brooklyn Scholars of Domestic Service” (AKA the BSDS crew) reading group with Vanessa May and Lara Vapnek.

  • Transnational Finnish Mobilities: Proceedings of Finnforum XI
    Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen (Eds.) Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen This volume is based on a selection of papers presented at Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen (Eds.) the conference FinnForum XI: Transnational Finnish Mobili- ties, held in Turku, Finland, in 2016. The twelve chapters dis- cuss two key issues of our time, mobility and transnational- ism, from the perspective of Finnish migration. The volume is divided into four sections. Part I, Mobile Pasts, Finland and Beyond, brings forth how Finland’s past – often imagined TRANSNATIONAL as more sedentary than today’s mobile world – was molded by various short and long-distance mobilities that occurred FINNISH MOBILITIES: both voluntarily and involuntarily. In Part II, Transnational Influences across the Atlantic, the focus is on sociocultural PROCEEDINGS OF transnationalism of Finnish migrants in the early 20th cen- tury United States. Taken together, Parts I and II show how FINNFORUM XI mobility and transnationalism are not unique features of our FINNISH MOBILITIES TRANSNATIONAL time, as scholars tend to portray them. Even before modern communication technologies and modes of transportation, migrants moved back and forth and nurtured transnational ties in various ways. Part III, Making of Contemporary Finn- ish America, examines how Finnishness is understood and maintained in North America today, focusing on the con- cepts of symbolic ethnicity and virtual villages. Part IV, Con- temporary Finnish Mobilities, centers on Finns’ present-day emigration patterns, repatriation experiences, and citizen- ship practices, illustrating how, globally speaking, Finns are privileged in their ability to be mobile and exercise transna- tionalism. Not only is the ability to move spread very uneven- ly, so is the capability to upkeep transnational connections, be they sociocultural, economic, political, or purely symbol- ic.
