  • 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. Painting by British artist David For EUROCLIO this was a pilot experiment in collecting historical Jagger, entitled The Bolshevik sources and we are very grateful to everyone who took part. We (1918). The image combines the think the experiment was successful and EUROCLIO will be planning features of several Bolshevik further crowd-sourcing of collections on other significant moments leaders. and developments in world history in the future.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Logos im Dialogos : Auf der Suche nach der Orthodoxie. Berlin: Lit, 209-229. Johannes Lepsius: Theologian, Humanitarian Activist and Historian of Völkermord. An Approach to a German Biography (1858-1926) Hans-Lukas Kieser After having been almost forgotten for decades, the German pastor, author and activist Johannes Lepsius has in the last twenty years become a topic of heated public discussions in Germany and beyond. Among the recent bones of contention is the federally subsidized Lepsiushaus, that is the house of Johannes Lepsius in Potsdam, now transformed to a memorial and research center, and which is Professor Hermann Goltz's lifework. With good reason, Lepsius was and remains highly respected internationally as a humanitarian and a brave witness of truth with regard to the Armenian genocide. His commitment and his variegated life raise important questions. Can his intellectual and social biography offer new insights into a history which has all too clearly remained a site of contestation until the present day? What of his theological background and his transnational networks? What about the role of his patriotic bonds to Wilhelmine Germany? Writing in exile in Basel in 1937, a family friend, the art historian Werner Weisbach, described how the life of Lepsius was an inspiring example of truthfulness, philanthropy and patriotism.

Alexander Parvus (eigentlich Israil Lasarewitsch Helphand, russisch Израиль Лазаревич Гельфанд Bekannt wurde er, als er zusammen mit deutschen Regierungsstellen im Jahre 1917 die Reise Lenins im plombierten Wagen durch das Deutsche Reich nach Russland organisierte. • Er war auch ein Vordenker der späteren Wirtschaftspolitik der Türkischen Republik unter Kemal Atatürk und • zusammen mit Trotzki der Vater des Konzeptes der Permanenten Revolution. • Da nach der Oktoberrevolution alle Dokumente von ihm und über ihn größtenteils vernichtet wurden, kann sein Mitwirken, um Lenin in Rußland an die Macht zu bringen, nicht genau eingeschätzt werden. Alexander Parvus wurde 1867 als Israil Lasarewitsch Helphand in einem jüdischen Schtetl im Gouvernement Minsk in Weißrußland geboren. Er wuchs in Odessa auf, wo er mit sechzehn Jahren die ersten revolutionären Erfahrungen sammelte.

  • Anti-Semitism in Europe Before the Holocaust
    This page intentionally left blank P1: FpQ CY257/Brustein-FM 0 52177308 3 July 1, 2003 5:15 Roots of Hate On the eve of the Holocaust, antipathy toward Europe’s Jews reached epidemic proportions. Jews fleeing Nazi Germany’s increasingly anti- Semitic measures encountered closed doors everywhere they turned. Why had enmity toward European Jewry reached such extreme heights? How did the levels of anti-Semitism in the 1930s compare to those of earlier decades? Did anti-Semitism vary in content and intensity across societies? For example, were Germans more anti-Semitic than their European neighbors, and, if so, why? How does anti-Semitism differ from other forms of religious, racial, and ethnic prejudice? In pursuit of answers to these questions, William I. Brustein offers the first truly systematic comparative and empirical examination of anti-Semitism in Europe before the Holocaust. Brustein proposes that European anti-Semitism flowed from religious, racial, economic, and po- litical roots, which became enflamed by economic distress, rising Jewish immigration, and socialist success. To support his arguments, Brustein draws upon a careful and extensive examination of the annual volumes of the American Jewish Year Book and more than forty years of newspaper reportage from Europe’s major dailies. The findings of this informative book offer a fresh perspective on the roots of society’s longest hatred. William I. Brustein is Professor of Sociology, Political Science, and His- tory and the director of the University Center for International Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. His previous books include The Logic of Evil (1996) and The Social Origins of Political Regionalism (1988).

  • Luxemburg and Trotsky on Russian Revolution
    Luxemburg and Trotsky on Russian Revolution https://internationalviewpoint.org/spip.php?article3245 Political theory Luxemburg and Trotsky on Russian Revolution - Features - Publication date: Monday 20 January 2014 Copyright © International Viewpoint - online socialist magazine - All rights reserved Copyright © International Viewpoint - online socialist magazine Page 1/6 Luxemburg and Trotsky on Russian Revolution The so-called "Leninist" orthodoxy is history, and the campaign that Stalin and his ideologists launched for decades against "Luxemburgism", which they identified since 1931 with their most hated nightmare, "Trotskyism", has fallen into oblivion. So we are free to examine the Marxist theories on the structure of the Russian society and the prospects of a revolutionary uprising against the rule of the Czar - written a century ago -, in order to explore the capacity of these theories to present an explanation of the state of affairs - one hundred years ago - and a prognosis of its future development (in and after 1917). [1] In 1882 Marx and Engels tried to answer Vera Sassulitsch's (the Russian revolutionary's) question if it was possible to use the institution of the Russian village community, the so-called Mir or Obschtschina, as a starting point for a non-capitalist development of the country instead of waiting till the progress of the market-society would have ruined these archaic forms of collective land-owning as it had already done in the Western societies.

(see here f or Part I and Part II) The Bolshevik Revolution 1. The Party The Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP) was f ounded in Minsk in 1898, in an attempt to unite the major socialist f actions active in Russia at the time. In addition to the unif ication idea, the party was meant to provide an alternative to the 'Narodnichestvo', the populist revolutionary movement that was represented by the narodniky, the young people that had begun to swarm out into the countryside in an attempt to 'educate the peasantry' (the party representing the narodniky movement was the SRP, see f urther below). The major dif f erence between these parties consisted in the f act that the RSDLP adopted Marxism as its ideological f oundation (as noted in part II of this series, the Czar's censors had mistakenly allowed the Russian translation of Marx' 'Das Kapital' to be published in Russia on the grounds that it was a 'strictly scientif ic work'. Presumably the censor charged with reading the book got bored out of his skull and one of the great ironies of history was the result). The beginning of the party's existence was inauspicious – the nine delegates attending its f irst congress were soon all arrested by the Okhrana, the Czar's secret police.

  • Testing Marx. Income Inequality, Concentration, and Socialism in Late 19Th Century Germany
    STONE CENTER ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC INEQUALITY WORKING PAPER SERIES No. 32 Testing Marx. Income Inequality, Concentration, and Socialism in Late 19th Century Germany Charlotte Bartels Felix Kersting Nikolaus Wolf March 2021 Testing Marx. Income Inequality, Concentration, and Socialism th in late 19 century Germany⇤ Charlotte Bartels Felix Kersting Nikolaus Wolf March 21, 2021 Abstract We study the dynamics of income inequality, capital concentration, and voting outcomes before 1914. Based on new panel data for Prussian counties and districts we re-evaluate the key economic debate between Marxists and their critics before 1914. We show that the increase in inequality was strongly correlated with a rising capital share, as predicted by Marxists at the time. In contrast, rising capital concentration was not associated with increasing income inequality. Relying on new sector county data, we show that increasing strike activity worked as an o↵setting factor. Similarly,⇥ the socialists did not directly benefit from rising inequality at the polls, but from the activity of trade unions. Overall, we find evidence for a rise in the bargaining power of workers, which limited the increase in inequality before 1914.
