Russia and the World: The View from Moscow Cover Page Footnote None This article is available in International Journal of Security Studies: https://digitalcommons.northgeorgia.edu/ijoss/ vol2/iss1/1 Introduction In 1939, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill famously observed that Russia was “a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.” Less remembered but equally significant is what Churchill said next: “Perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest."1 Much has changed in Russia and the world since 1939, but in many ways, Churchill’s observation is as valid today as it was then. What is Russia’s national interest? How do Russia’s leaders, especially Russian President Vladimir Putin, view their country’s national interest? And how can their viewpoints be determined? This is a challenging but not impossible task.

  • Tracking the Travels of Adam Olearius
    Tracking the Travels of Adam Olearius Nancy S. Kollmann (Stanford University) am a big fan of Gary Marker’s first book—a study of printing and I publishing in Russia’s eighteenth century. There he showed how Russia’s reading public took shape and how its interests changed, moving steadily towards belles-lettres and secular philosophy with a good dose of lowbrow adventure tales and garishly illustrated romances. So Gary understands the early modern publishing world, with its penchant for illustration and its dynamism, which is what this paper is about. It stems from an encounter I had in Houghton Library with a curious version of Adam Olearius’ Travels to Russia and Persia. Students of early modern Russian history are unavoidably fast friends with Adam Olearius (1599-1671). His account is fascinating and is one of the few to provide contemporary illustrations, problematic as they may be. Olearius served Duke Frederick III of Schleswig-Holstein, who was endeavoring to win a monopoly for Holstein on trade to Persia, for which he needed Russian permission for transit travel. Frederick sent two embassies—to Moscow in 1633-35 and through Russia to Persia in 1635-39—and Olearius served on both. He returned briefly to Russia in 1643. In 1647 Olearius published an account of his voyages, as he 134 Tracking the Travels of Adam Olearius said, upon the urging of friends (a common trope in introducing such books). The 1647 edition appeared at the Schleswig press—a handsome volume in 536 folio pages with about 70 copper engravings approxi- mately evenly divided between the Russian and Persian parts of the account (plus nine dedicatory portrait engravings).

Despite good advice by the best and the brightest of Western experts, and despite billions in “credits” and aid, some countries remain defiantly persistent in refusing to complete their prescribed “transitions.” This is particularly striking in the case of Russia, which was by far the most favored recipient of foreign aid and advice. As we are now more than a decade and a half into the race, it would seem pretty timely to ask what the project was really all about, and whether it may perhaps have been a bit misconceived from the very start. By far the most important question to be asked, in this connection, concerns the very notion of “transition.” When the project was launched, true believers in the Washington Consensus were firmly beholden to three articles of faith. One was that shock therapy would bring sure efficiency gains, the second that all the countries concerned would show the same type and rate of progress, and the third that success as such was, quite simply, a foregone conclusion.

  • Stephanie Burt on AFTER CALLIMACHUS: Poems for the Princeton University Press Ideas Podcast
    Stephanie Burt on AFTER CALLIMACHUS: Poems for the Princeton University Press Ideas Podcast Marshall Poe Welcome to the New Books Network. Hello, everybody. This is Marshall Poe. I'm the editor of the New Books Network and this is an episode in the Princeton University Press Ideas Podcast series. And today, we're talking to Stephanie Burt about her book AFTER CALLIMACHUS. It's been published by Princeton University Press--I believe it came out in 2020--and I'm looking forward to the conversation. Stephanie, welcome to the show. Stephanie Burt Happy to be here. Marshall Poe Good, could you begin the interview by telling us a little bit about yourself? Stephanie Burt About me? Okay. I’m from Washington DC. I've lived in Massachusetts and Connecticut and New York City, and England, and Minnesota. And I have some loyalty to Minnesota. I used to teach at Macalester College in St. Paul. And since 2007, I have been back in Massachusetts teaching at Harvard. Two cats; one dog; two kids. We live in Belmont. I wrote a book called Belmont. I write about poetry a lot and I think about the X-Men way too much and they'll probably come up later in this podcast. Marshall Poe Yes, one of my daughters is really into manga, so I think a lot about manga these days. So, my first question is: how did you become a poet and a translator of poetry? Stephanie Burt So, those are two questions. The first one: How does anyone become a poet? I mean, you know, practice? Realizing that you have nothing better to do with your time? Gentle encouragement? Or, at least, a lack of discouragement from peers and teachers when discouragement was perhaps just as easily warranted.

  • Charles J. Halperin
    RussianStudiesHu 2021 CHARLES J. HALPERIN US PUBLICATIONS (2000–2020) ON MUSCOVITE HISTORY, 1462–16891 Between 2000 and 2020 historians and philologists in the US published a considerable number of books and articles on Muscovite history from 1462 to 1689. On nearly all major issues there is no consensus, so it is impossible to speak of a “US school” of Russian historiography. This survey, organized thematically, will reference thirty-three books and approximately 350 articles. In each rubric authors are listed alphabetically and their publications chronologically. The survey selectively mentions unstudied topics or topics that require further study and briefly summarizes differences of opinion. Keywords: Muscovy, 1462, 1649, United States, historiography Charles J. Halperin – PhD in History, Research Associate, Russian and East European Institute, Indiana University (303 East 8th Street, Apt. 4, Bloomington, IN 47408-3574). E-mail: chalperi@ iu.edu 1 Citation: Charles J. Halperin, “US Publications (2000–2020) on Muscovite History, 1462– 1689”, RussianStudiesHu 3, no. 1 (2021): 11–44. DOI: 10.38210/RUSTUDH.2021.3.1 DOI: 10.38210/RUSTUDH.2020.2.1 12 Charles J. Halperin Introduction2 There is no “US School” of Muscovite History. US historians and philologists disagree about virtually all major topics in Muscovite history from 1462 to 1689, including the periodization of 1462–1689 that defines this survey. One author even called the field “fractious.” Some authors refer to the late fifteenth century as “late medieval history.” Others refer to the 1462-1689 period as “pre-modern” rather than “early modern.” A growing number now apply to Russia the periodization of European history of “early modern” defined as 1500–1800.

Well, not quite. When drunk students do really dumb things in my college town we all know exactly what to do. Everyone plays their part: I wrote angry letters to local papers decrying college drinking; the city council expressed outrage; the provost said a commission was studying the problem; the students proclaimed their “right to party.” Then nothing happened.
