As a Voice of America correspondent, Eichrodt made frequent trips to the Soviet Union to cover the Congress of People's Deputies (S"ezd narodnykh deputatov), a democratically elected assembly created by Mikhail Gorbachev in 1989. Through a series of interviews with Congress members, Eichrodt documented the attitudes of Russian officials toward Gorbachev's union treaty and the rights of autonomous republics, audiotapes of which can be found in the Russia subseries of the Sound Recordings series. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Eichrodt was interested primarily in nationalist and separatist groups within the Russian Federation, particularly the North Caucasus. In 1994, she received a MacArthur grant to write a book on the history and contemporary politics of the North Caucasus, the proposal for which can be found in the Personal File. From 1994 to 1996, Eichrodt used her grant to travel extensively in the Caucasus, interviewing hundreds of local government officials, citizens, and refugees on separatist movements and territorial conflicts. These taped interviews are in the Sound Recordings series and grouped by Caucasian republic. Included among Eichrodt's interviewees are Chechen presidents Dzhokhar Dudaev and Aslan Maskhadov, Ingushetian president Ruslan Aushev, opposition leader Zelimkhan Iandarbiev and public figure Ruslan Labazanov. Most of the interviews conducted in Chechnia are on domestic affairs from 1990 to 1997, although some relate to Stalin's 1944 deportations of Chechens and Ingush. The collection includes Register of the Joan Beecher 2006C62 2 Eichrodt collection Interview Transcripts of selected tapes as well as Notebooks maintained by Eichrodt during her interviews and research trips. In addition to the hundreds of recorded interviews, the bulk of the collection consists of Research Materials, Clippings and Newspapers related to Eichrodt's Voice of America reports, as well as her planned book on the Caucasus. Topics include history of the North Caucasian republics, the 1994-1996 war between Russia and Chechnia, ethnic relations, and cross-border conflicts in the Caucasus, particularly between Ingushetia and Ossetia.

  • Problems of Mimetic Characterization in Dostoevsky and Tolstoy
    Illusion and Instrument: Problems of Mimetic Characterization in Dostoevsky and Tolstoy By Chloe Susan Liebmann Kitzinger A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Irina Paperno, Chair Professor Eric Naiman Professor Dorothy J. Hale Spring 2016 Illusion and Instrument: Problems of Mimetic Characterization in Dostoevsky and Tolstoy © 2016 By Chloe Susan Liebmann Kitzinger Abstract Illusion and Instrument: Problems of Mimetic Characterization in Dostoevsky and Tolstoy by Chloe Susan Liebmann Kitzinger Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures University of California, Berkeley Professor Irina Paperno, Chair This dissertation focuses new critical attention on a problem central to the history and theory of the novel, but so far remarkably underexplored: the mimetic illusion that realist characters exist independently from the author’s control, and even from the constraints of form itself. How is this illusion of “life” produced? What conditions maintain it, and at what points does it start to falter? My study investigates the character-systems of three Russian realist novels with widely differing narrative structures — Tolstoy’s War and Peace (1865–1869), and Dostoevsky’s The Adolescent (1875) and The Brothers Karamazov (1879–1880) — that offer rich ground for exploring the sources and limits of mimetic illusion. I suggest, moreover, that Tolstoy and Dostoevsky themselves were preoccupied with this question. Their novels take shape around ambitious projects of characterization that carry them toward the edges of the realist tradition, where the novel begins to give way to other forms of art and thought.

During his several-week expedition, he visited a few capital cities and returned with observations free of any hope, on the day preceding the breakout of decisive battles in the east. Posner highlighted that even those who had been siding with Poland, such as French President Alexandre Millerand, assuring of his support for Warsaw in the conflict with the Czechs ,“is siding with them and, in other matters, will always submit to the opinion of England, because he depends on her as a creditor. What can I say about the others? The issue of compensation, the issue of Gdańsk, the issue of the plebiscites – are worse than ever.” The following weeks confirmed these observations. Even among recent sympathisers of Poland’s cause there was no shortage of those observing with indifference our battle with Bolshevism, interested, at most, in taking as much as they could for themselves. The year 1920 did not just mean the struggle with Bolshevism, but also a clash with the indifference and reluctance from the West. Hence the assistance we received from those willing to help us at this dramatic time was even more valuable.

During the last part of his life, his towering personality dominated the intellectual climate of Russia and the world to an unprecedented degree. His work, moreover, continues to be studied and admired. His views on art, literature, morals, politics, and life have never ceased to influence writers and thinkers all over the world. Such interest over the years has produced an immense quantity of books and articles about Tolstoy, his ideas, and his work. In Russia alone their number exceeded ten thousand some time ago (more than 5,500 items were published in the Soviet Union between 1917 and 1957) and con­ tinues to rise.

    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 572 Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Arts, Design and Contemporary Education (ICADCE 2021) Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in the Context of Symbolism Andrey Konovalov1,a Liudmila Mikheeva2,* Yulia Gushchina3,b 1 Institute of Fine Arts, Moscow Pedagogical State University, Moscow, Russia 2 Department of General Humanitarian Disciplines, Russian State Specialized Academy of Arts, Moscow, Russia 3 Likhachev Russian Research Institute for Cultural and Natural Heritage, Moscow, Russia a Email: [email protected] b Email: [email protected] *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The present article focuses on the artistic culture of the Silver Age and the remarkable creative atmosphere of Russia at the turn of the 20th century characterized by the synthesis of arts: drama, opera, ballet, and scenography. A key figure of the period was Sergei Diaghilev, the editor and publisher of the magazines Mir Iskusstva (World of Art) and The Yearbook of the Imperial Theatres, the founder of the famous Ballets Russes in Paris, the organizer of exhibitions of Russian artists of different schools and movements. The article studies the features of Symbolism as an artistic movement and philosophy of art of the Silver Age, a spiritual quest of artistic people of the time, and related and divergent interests of representatives of different schools and trends. The Silver Age is considered the most sophisticated and creative period of Russian culture, the time of efflorescence, human spirit, creativity, the rise of social forces, general renewal, in other words, Russian spiritual and cultural renaissance.

Mirrors in Russian Decadent and Symbolist Prose: Valery Briusov and Dmitry Merezhkovsky Abstract Examining mirror imagery in the prose works “In the Mirror” by Valery Briusov and The Resurrected Gods: Leonardo da Vinci by Dmitry Merezhkovsky, both published in 1902, this article situates the Russian Decadent and Symbolist associations of the mirror in the pan-European literary and philosophical context. The mirror constitutes the threshold of manifold oppositions, including life and art, life and death, and reality and dream or imagination. It is a realm of alternative reality, magical and seductive, as in Briusov’s story, or potentially both demonic and divine, as in Merezhkovsky’s novel.

In conversation with forty-five first- and second-generation Russian intellectuals who relocated from Russia and the former Soviet Union, the researcher investigates transnational Russian identity through ethnographic, auto-ethnographic, and visual anthropology methods. Educated migrants from Russia who shared with the researcher a comparable epistemic universe and experiential perspective, and who were themselves experts on migration, discuss what it means to belong to global transnational diasporas, how they position themselves in historical contexts of migration, and what they hope to contribute to modern intellectual migrant narratives.
