I was returning from the annual convention of the Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies (AAASS), where I had been drawn to presentations on family apartments in the Khrushchev era, youth culture, semi-legal markets, and other seemingly disparate topics remote from my own research on the history of automo- biles in the Soviet Union. Suddenly, somewhere on that long stretch of road west of London, Ontario, I became aware of the common thread that con- nected our work. Barely articulated in our respective presentations, it was the everyday sites, practices, and forms of behavior that can be identified with the private sphere. The realm of the private, variously defined, has been receiving increasing attention from students of Soviet-type societies for some time. One of the reasons for this development may be that so many of the previously domi- nant narratives about that part of the world suddenly seemed stale and inap- propriate in the aftermath of the events of 1989–1991. These narratives, overwhelmingly about public affairs and the state, rarely addressed the private realm, and when they did so, tended to treat it as the beleaguered antithesis of state power. They thus occluded many of the “common places” and practices that gave specific meaning to, if not defined, life in Soviet- type societies. “Doing” private spheres thus adds a vital dimension to the history of such societies. The second reason has to do with disciplinary training specific to Soviet studies. Until not too long ago, 1945 (or at the latest 1953) was the year beyond which historians of the USSR feared to tread. This simply is no longer the case. The result is the challenging of long-held assumptions about what really mattered during the post-Stalin era, and a corresponding reexamination of some of the more reassuring con- trasts that used to be drawn between East and West. It was during that car trip, then, that my companion Leslie Page Moch suggested I try to put together a book of essays reflective of the exciting new scholarship to which I had been exposed at the conference. A few e-mail messages and an announcement in H-Russia elicited proposals; common 1403969841ts01.qxd 25/2/06 10:09 PM Page x x / preface and acknowledgments reading was suggested to help frame the essays; panels were put together for AAASS conventions in subsequent years; and, in the meantime, authors wrote and submitted drafts and revised versions. All this was facilitated by Palgrave Macmillan’s editor, David Pervin and his assistant, Heather van Dusen, both of whom responded promptly and helpfully to my queries. I also am happy to express my gratitude to all the contributors for their cooperativeness and good cheer which made our collaboration not only conflict-free but fun; to Yves Cohen, Alain Blum, and Patrick Fridenson for giving me the opportunity to present my ideas and critically engaging with them in their seminars at the Ecole des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales; to Yves Charbit and Gabor Rittersporn for taking time away from more impor- tant things to attend and offer criticism and advice in those seminars; to my good friends, Ronald Suny and Diane Koenker, for their encouragement and enthusiasm about the project; and, of course, to Leslie Page Moch. 1403969841ts02.qxd 25/2/06 1:54 PM Page 1 Introduction: Mapping Private Spheres in the Soviet Context Lewis H. Siegelbaum The Private as a Universal Category of Historical Analysis? The analytical distinction between the public and the private has been described as a “central preoccupation of Western thought since classical antiquity.” “Pervasive, durable, persistent, and deeply rooted,” this “great dichotomy” nevertheless has frustrated scholars by its “protean,” “inherently problematic, and often treacherous” nature, its “false clarity” and multi- plicity of meanings.1 In an influential attempt to untangle the web of contra- dictory associations, Jeff Weintraub identified two “fundamental, and analytically quite distinct, kinds of imagery” or axes according to which private and public have been contrasted: ● the hidden or withdrawn versus the open, revealed, or accessible; ● the individual or particularistic versus the collective or general.2 Of course, as Weintraub noted, “there are a number of ways in which each of these underlying criteria can be conceived, and...combined to produce the various concrete versions of the public/private distinction.” In fact, it turns out that, as the sociologist Joe Bailey puts it, “there is no essen- tial ‘private’ or intrinsic ‘public,’ no obvious psychological or anthropological constant underlying these concepts.” They are, rather, highly mutable cate- gories that construct each other. Sometimes one has occupied the “high” or favored ground while at other times it has been the residual category.3 If this is true of the modern Western world, could it also be, as Joan Landes recently asked, “a universal feature of human society, with endless variations? Or, conversely, is it a feature of a particular form of social organization associated with the rise of the family, private property, and the state?”4 Even if the latter were the case, the question remains whether the distinction has any utility for analyzing societies in which it did not figure in political 1403969841ts02.qxd 25/2/06 1:54 PM Page 2 2 / lewis h. siegelbaum theory or legal practice. Weintraub notes that because the web of personal dependencies in medieval times attenuated if not totally obscured the public-private distinction, “a significant element in the shaping of modernity has involved the gradual rediscovery of these notions and the attempt to realize and institutionalize them.”5 Does this mean that the distinction is meaningless or irrelevant to medievalists? Even a nodding acquaintance with recent scholarship suggests otherwise.6 Similarly in Middle Eastern studies it has been noted that “public/private dichotomies are difficult to discern in the historical record,” at least before the nineteenth century.

    Fantastic Fables by Ambrose Bierce Selected Fables of Law and Society (http://www.gutenberg.org/files/374/374-h/374-h.htm) The Discontented Malefactor A Judge having sentenced a Malefactor to the penitentiary was proceeding to point out to him the disadvantages of crime and the profit of reformation. “Your Honour,” said the Malefactor, interrupting, “would you be kind enough to alter my punishment to ten years in the penitentiary and nothing else?” “Why,” said the Judge, surprised, “I have given you only three years!” “Yes, I know,” assented the Malefactor—“three years’ imprisonment and the preaching. If you please, I should like to commute the preaching.” A Hasty Settlement “Your Honour,” said an Attorney, rising, “what is the present status of this case—as far as it has gone?” “I have given a judgment for the residuary legatee under the will,” said the Court, “put the costs upon the contestants, decided all questions relating to fees and other charges; and, in short, the estate in litigation has been settled, with all controversies, disputes, misunderstandings, and differences of opinion thereunto appertaining.” “Ah, yes, I see,” said the Attorney, thoughtfully,“we are making progress—we are getting on famously.” “Progress?” echoed the Judge—“progress? Why, sir, the matter is concluded!” “Exactly, exactly; it had to be concluded in order to give relevancy to the motion that I am about to make. Your Honour, I move that the judgment of the Court be set aside and the case reopened.” “Upon what ground, sir?” the Judge asked in surprise. “Upon the ground,” said the Attorney, “that after paying all fees and expenses of litigation and all charges against the estate there will still be something left.” “There may have been an error,” said His Honour, thoughtfully—“the Court may have underestimated the value of the estate.

  • The Prison Worlds of Dostoevskii, Tolstoi, and Chekhov
    The Prison Worlds of Dostoevskii, Tolstoi, and Chekhov Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gregory Ormiston, M.A. Graduate Program in Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Alexander Burry, Advisor Angela Brintlinger Helena Goscilo Copyrighted by Gregory Ormiston 2017 Abstract It may be unsurprising that in nineteenth-century Russia, under a politically sensitive tsarist regime notorious for sending some of the country’s most famous writers into exile, prison became a conspicuous topic in literature. In the second half of the century, the works of three of Russia’s best realist authors - Fedor Dostoevskii, Lev Tolstoi, and Anton Chekhov – prominently featured prison, and even prisoners as heroes. Nevertheless, critical treatment of these prison-related works tends to isolate them to the context of each individual writer. This dissertation explores the carceral connections between these authors to see how prison, as a common theme, played a larger role in the development of nineteenth-century Russian literature than has previously been recognized. My study focuses especially on how prison influences the creation of the three authors’ literary worlds. Specifically, through close reading and analysis of selected texts, I show how the realists use the time and space of prison to produce the themes and forms of their fiction. Thus prison becomes foundational in the works of Dostoevskii and Chekhov, and revelatory in Tolstoi’s late period. Theoretical support for this analysis comes mainly from Mikhail Bakhtin, whose notion of the “chronotope” aids in the investigation of prison-like settings, and Michel Foucault, who tracks the changing nature of prison and its increasing effect on society leading into the era of the Russian realists.

  • TRIAL of CHRIST by Alexander Taylor Innes the TRIAL of CHRIST by Frank John Powell
    THE AGES DIGITAL LIBRARY HISTORICAL THE TRIAL OF CHRIST by Alexander Taylor Innes THE TRIAL OF CHRIST by Frank John Powell B o o k s F o r Th e A g e s AGES Software • Albany, OR USA Version 1.0 © 1997 2 FOREWORD The two works reprinted here in a single volume were written by a Scot and an Englishman respectively. Both were barristers, and both felt that a need existed to explain the facts surrounding the trial of Christ. Their treatises (complimentary in nature in that they deal with the same factual data from different points of view) ably blend biblical and historical evidence with an astute knowledge of Jewish jurisprudence. Both works also vindicate the evangelical belief in the uniqueness of the person of Jesus Christ and His atoning death from the culminous attacks of those who have propounded contrary theories. These books together comprise a work of extraordinary value which no serious student of the Scriptures can afford to be without! Alexander Taylor Innes (1833-1912) earned justifiable fame for his brilliance as an advocate and skill as a church historian. He authored the widely acclaimed Church and State as well as his Trial of Jesus Christ: A Legal Monograph. This latter work first appeared in 1899 and, while it is frequently quoted by scholars in footnotes, has become extremely rare. Following a brief introduction, Mr. Innes treats with consummate skill the Hebrew and Roman trials of Christ. He demonstrates from biblical and historical data the many irregularities and illegalities of both trials, and shows how the evil inclinations of men (supposedly committed to upholding the law) led them to manipulate different aspects of the proceedings in order to gain the verdict they desired.

  • The Great English Short-Story Writers, Vol. 1
    THE GREAT ENGLISH SHORT-STORY WRITERS VOL. 1 BY HENRY JAMES The Evolution of the Short-Story I The short-story commenced its career as a verbal utterance, or, as Robert Louis Stevenson puts it, with "the first men who told their stories round the savage camp- fire." It bears the mark of its origin, for even to-day it is true that the more it creates the illusion of the speaking-voice, causing the reader to listen and to see, so that he forgets the printed page, the better does it accomplish its literary purpose. It is probably an instinctive appreciation of this fact which has led so many latter-day writers to narrate their short-stories in dialect. In a story which is communicated by the living voice our attention is held primarily not by the excellent deposition of adjectives and poise of style, but by the striding progress of the plot; it is the plot, and action in the plot, alone which we remember when the combination of words which conveyed and made the story real to us has been lost to mind. "Crusoe recoiling from the foot-print, Achilles shouting over against the Trojans, Ulysses bending the great bow, Christian running with his fingers in his ears; these are each culminating moments, and each has been printed on the mind's eye for ever." The secondary importance of the detailed language in which an incident is narrated, when compared with the total impression made by the naked action contained in the incident, is seen in the case of ballad poetry, where a man may retain a vivid mental picture of the localities, atmosphere, and dramatic moments created by Coleridge's Ancient Mariner, or Rossetti's White Ship, and yet be quite incapable of repeating two consecutive lines of the verse.

The dialogues were witty.. Kacey is sitting across from the one man she gave her heart to, and he is wanting a huge favor from her. The one means of being saved from bankruptcy and disgrace is the death of that man! Community Reviews. Fifteen years ago, a party was thrown at a banker's home, where many intellectuals such a journalists and lawyers attended. Hero is supposed to be 23, talks like he's 30 and has owned and run a millionaire's ranch for years. Kacey has a history with Jake's older brother Travis they have a somewhat shaky past and she has never been able to forget the way he teased and taunted her. External Sites. A Malefactor. Maybe the old banker realized the vanity and emptiness of his life; we will never know. It's important to live and not get s hung up on the past. I wondered what the hell was going on - was this a story about a man whore turning himself around for the heroine or was it a story were she falls for the 'love of her life's' brother? Kind of reminded me a bit of the old film, Sabrina. This was a standalone book with no cliffhanger ending! Definitely an enjoyable mostly lighthearted read about childhood friends who finally with some well meaning family manipulation realize they are meant for each other.
