First of all, I would like to thank Professors Annie Brisset (University of Ottawa) and Michael Heim (UCLA). I am indebted to Professor Brisset for the very idea of studying eighteenth-century Russian translation from the point of view of its social functions and especially for the fruitful idea of applying Niklas Luhmann's social systems theory to it. Her unfailing encouragement kept me motivated to dig ever more deeply into studied phenomena; her expert feedback all along the way was a sure guarantee that I would not go astray. Professor Heim's expertise in Russian literature and translation history provided me with valuables guidelines in establishing the corpus for analysis. His comments and suggestions helped me strike a better balance between Russian studies and translation theory. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to professors of the School of Translation and Interpretation at the University of Ottawa, especially Professors Luise von Flotow, Clara Foz and Salah Basalamah, for their advice and support at various stages of the project. I am grateful to my colleagues of the Department of Russian and Slavic Studies at the University of McGill, Montreal, for their comments on parts of my research. My thanks go to Professors Laura Beraha and Paul Austin. I thank Professor Irina Krasnova for her help and support. I have also benefited from the excellent Russian collection of McGill's McLennan Library and I would like to thank Tatiana Bedjanian who is responsible for the Russian section. 5 I am sincerely thankful to my colleagues and friends Professors James St. Andre, Benoit Leger, Sherry Simon, and Natalia Teplova for lending an ear or a hand when needed. The research would not have been feasible without funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Friends and colleagues were kind enough to listen to my ceaseless ranting about Luhmann, applied half-jokingly, half-seriously to anything and everything. This proved a valuable experience for me in making his theory part of me and they aided me enormously in this process with their questions, ideas, or sometimes by simply lending me their ears. Especially, I would like to thank Federico Bianco-Pastorino, Kathryn Radford and Philippe Beaudoin for their assistance and support. 6 ABSTRACT In the eighteenth century, Russia passed through a period of sweeping social reforms. Russia was modernized, and modernization was viewed as westernization. Russia had to accomplish the modernization as quickly as possible and catch up with the rest of Europe, a formidable task requiring transfers of Western European knowledge and values on a massive scale. Translation became the sole means of carrying out these transfers in the least time-consuming fashion. My research focuses on the social role of translation. I applied Niklas Luhmann's social systems theory as well as some concepts from works by Pierre Bourdieu and Lev Gumilev. Luhmann's theory provided a stimulating theoretical basis for analyzing major translation flows, the place of translation in the overall social system of the Russian Empire as well as the contribution translation made to the process of Russia's unfolding westernization. Bourdieu's concepts helped consider the role of agency in the translation 'field' and explain the distribution of symbolic capital in society that led to foregrounding translation as a major means of westernization. Gumilev's ideas about ethnogenetic evolution made it clear that the eighteenth century was the acmetic stage of the evolving superethnos and that is why became such a pivotal period in Russian history. Translation was regarded as a boundary phenomenon of the system (in this case, the Russian Empire). Serving as the system's boundary, translation opened the system to influences from the environment. In eighteenth-century Russia, intrasystemically, translation became a crucial means of introducing new ideas, helping to change the official discourse by introducing a heterodoxa (an alternative social discourse). Translation came to the fore of the social stage and became a principal means of re­ negotiating the systemic communication.

  • Catherine the Great and the Development of a Modern Russian Sovereignty, 1762-1796
    Catherine the Great and the Development of a Modern Russian Sovereignty, 1762-1796 By Thomas Lucius Lowish A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Victoria Frede-Montemayor, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor Kinch Hoekstra Spring 2021 Abstract Catherine the Great and the Development of a Modern Russian Sovereignty, 1762-1796 by Thomas Lucius Lowish Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Victoria Frede-Montemayor, Chair Historians of Russian monarchy have avoided the concept of sovereignty, choosing instead to describe how monarchs sought power, authority, or legitimacy. This dissertation, which centers on Catherine the Great, the empress of Russia between 1762 and 1796, takes on the concept of sovereignty as the exercise of supreme and untrammeled power, considered legitimate, and shows why sovereignty was itself the major desideratum. Sovereignty expressed parity with Western rulers, but it would allow Russian monarchs to bring order to their vast domain and to meaningfully govern the lives of their multitudinous subjects. This dissertation argues that Catherine the Great was a crucial figure in this process. Perceiving the confusion and disorder in how her predecessors exercised power, she recognized that sovereignty required both strong and consistent procedures as well as substantial collaboration with the broadest possible number of stakeholders. This was a modern conception of sovereignty, designed to regulate the swelling mechanisms of the Russian state. Catherine established her system through careful management of both her own activities and the institutions and servitors that she saw as integral to the system.

  • The Minor an Eigliteentli-Centuryfarce By
    The VO Russian and East European Studies Center is proud to present The Minor an eigliteentli-centuryfarce by Denis Fonvizin HedopoCJlb ,[I;eHHca <POHBH3HHa :9Liapteaby Ju[ia Nimirovs~aya 'With Songs by'Yu[ii 1(jm fJ)irector~ 9{ptes Russia in the 18th century was known as a "woman's kingdom." During the course of almost 70 years there was a woman on the throne. Longer than any other ruled the most powerful, the most clever and educated of them all-Catherine the Great. Many Western philosophers, such as Voltaire and Diderot, considered her a truly enlightened monarch. Denis Fonvizin was the secretary of her personal enemy, Count Panin. Fonviziil wrote his most famous comedy The Minor in 1782; it is one of the 10 most famous Russian plays in the canon and one of the most frequently produced. Contemporaries read it as a criticism of female dominance and a satire on Catherine's reign, with the message that a strong woman is worse than a tyrannical man. The play's other goal was to show the audience that education improves people morally, while ignorance allows them to degrade and become mere beasts (thus the pig-loving Skotinin). In this comedy, all the educated people are kind and good, and all the uneducated people behave like animals. Of course, according to the laws of classical comedy, light and goodness con~er darkness and malice. It was not always this way in the 18t century-goodness did not always win. But we remember this century as a time of brilliant individualities, when strong personalities, eccentrics, and other talented people made their mark.

A CONTROVERSIAL PATH TO THE CREATION OF THE AUTOCEPHALOUS ORTHODOX CHURCH IN UKRAINE Sergei A. Mudrov Polotsk State University, Department of Social Communications, Belarus. Email: [email protected] Abstract: This article analyses the establishment of the autocephalous Orthodox Church in Ukraine. It explains the main steps that were taken in Ukraine towards obtaining auto- cephaly for the Orthodox Church, namely for two non-canonical groups — ‘Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church’ and ‘Ukrainian Orthodox Church -- Kiev Patriarchate’, which formally merged in December 2018. A special attention is devoted to the analysis of the events in 2018, starting from the April 2018 request of the Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, addressed to the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomeos. I argue that the move towards autocephaly was dictated primarily by politico-ideological reasons and was accom- panied by the rise of confrontation and a lack of cooperation. The majority of Orthodox, belonging to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate), opposed this process, which made them the subject of intimidation campaigns. It appears that in Ukraine there is an ongoing process of constructing a “radical other”, and much effort is being devoted to making the Ukrainian Orthodox Church this “radical other”, since the actions of this Church have been often interpreted in the most negative ways. Overall, the move towards autocephaly, instead of uniting Ukrainians, has brought about new dividing lines in Ukraine and has contributed to the split in global Orthodoxy. Key words: Orthodox Church; identity; religion; Ukraine; autocephaly; Ecumenical Patri- archate; Moscow Patriarchate.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS ORGANISATION FOR COMMUNICATIONS AND TRANSIT STABILISATION OF MOVABLE FEASTS SUMMARY OF REPLIES FROM RELIGIOUS AUTHORITIES TO THE LETTER FROM THE SECRETARY-GENERAL OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS COMMUNICATING THE ACT REGARDING THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF FIXING MOVABLE FEASTS I. — COMMUNICATION OF THE ACT TO THE RELIGIOUS AUTHORITIES. According to the instructions of the Council, the Secretary-General brought the Act regarding the economic and social aspects of fixing movable feasts, adopted by the Fourth General Conference on Communications and Transit, to the notice of the Christian Religious Authorities, asking them to consider as favourably as possible what action they could “take in the matter.

II. — RESULTS OF THE ENQUIRY. 1. — Attitude of the Holy See. By letter dated December 30th, 1932, Cardinal Pacelli informed the Secretary-General that the Holy bee maintains the point of view already expressed in previous communications — i.e., that the stabilisation of Easter is a pre-eminently religious question which falls within the competence of the Holy See and that, for reasons of higher spiritual concern, the Holy ?>ee cannot contemplate a change in this matter.

  • Eugene Miakinkov
    Russian Military Culture during the Reigns of Catherine II and Paul I, 1762-1801 by Eugene Miakinkov A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta ©Eugene Miakinkov, 2015 Abstract This study explores the shape and development of military culture during the reign of Catherine II. Next to the institutions of the autocracy and the Orthodox Church, the military occupied the most important position in imperial Russia, especially in the eighteenth century. Rather than analyzing the military as an institution or a fighting force, this dissertation uses the tools of cultural history to explore its attitudes, values, aspirations, tensions, and beliefs. Patronage and education served to introduce a generation of young nobles to the world of the military culture, and expose it to its values of respect, hierarchy, subordination, but also the importance of professional knowledge. Merit is a crucial component in any military, and Catherine’s military culture had to resolve the tensions between the idea of meritocracy and seniority. All of the above ideas and dilemmas were expressed in a number of military texts that began to appear during Catherine’s reign. It was during that time that the military culture acquired the cultural, political, and intellectual space to develop – a space I label the “military public sphere”. This development was most clearly evident in the publication, by Russian authors, of a range of military literature for the first time in this era. The military culture was also reflected in the symbolic means used by the senior commanders to convey and reinforce its values in the army.

DeBlasio, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2010 This dissertation takes as its primary task the evaluation of a conflict of paradigms in Russian philosophical thought in the past decade. If until the early nineties Russian philosophers were often guilty of uncritically attributing to their domestic philosophy a set of characteristics that fell along the lines of a religious/secular binary (e.g. literary vs. analytic; continuous vs. ruptured), in recent years the same scholarship is moving away from the nineteenth-century model of philosophy as a “path” or “special mission,” as it has been called by Konstantin Aksakov, Aleksei Khomiakov, Ivan Kireevskii, and later, Nikolai Berdiaev, among others.

  • El Garantismo Penal De Un Ilustrado Italiano: Mario Pagano Y La Lección De Beccaria
    046-IPPOLITO 3/10/08 12:54 Página 525 EL GARANTISMO PENAL DE UN ILUSTRADO ITALIANO: MARIO PAGANO Y LA LECCIÓN DE BECCARIA Dario Ippolito RESUMEN. La teoría normativa del Derecho penal desarrollada por Francesco Mario Pagano debe situarse dentro de la tradición penal ilustrada que le precede, esto es, en la reflexión de Montesquieu y Beccaria. A partir de la influencia de estos autores, Pagano elabora las líneas generales de un proceso penal moderno cimentado en las garantías fundamentales del inculpa- do. La crítica que Pagano dirige contra el procedimiento inquisitorio, entonces vigente, no se arti- cula sólo en el nivel del déficit de garantías del imputado —sobre el que se centraba la principal crítica de los defensores del modelo acusatorio—, además, el autor desafía a los apologetas de la inquisitio en su propio terreno: el de la interpelación represiva. Más allá de la denuncia que Pagano realiza en contra del método procesal del Reino de Nápoles, su reflexión desemboca en una teoría procesalista de carácter garantista. Los principios sobre los cuales tal teoría se articu- la son: el principio de legalidad del proceso, el principio de la imparcialidad del juez, el principio de la paridad de poderes entre acusación y defensa, el principio de contradicción, y el principio de la oralidad y de la publicidad de todo el procedimiento. De esta forma, Pagano intenta dar forma a un coherente sistema de garantías en el cual encontraban expresión y orden las razones políticas y las principales instancias de la Ilustración penal. Palabras clave: garantías fundamentales del inculpado, proceso inquisitorio, proceso acusatorio, Ilustración penal.
