  • Soviet History in the Gorbachev Revolution: the First Phase*
    SOVIET HISTORY IN THE GORBACHEV REVOLUTION: THE FIRST PHASE* R.W. Davies I. THE BACKGROUND The Khrushchev thaw among historians began early in 1956 and continued with retreats and starts for ten years. In the spring of 1956 Burdzhalov, the deputy editor of the principal Soviet historical journal, published a bold article re-examining the role of the Bolshevik party in the spring of 1917, demonstrating that Stalin was an ally of Kamenev's in compromising with the Provisional Government, and presenting Zinoviev as a close associate of en in.' The article was strongly criticised. Burdzhalov was moved to an uninfluential post, though he did manage eventually to publish an important history of the February revolution. The struggle continued; and after Khrushchev's further public denunciation of Stalin at the XXII Party Congress in 1961 there was a great flowering of publica- tions about Soviet history. The most remarkable achievement of these years was the publication of a substantial series of articles and books about the collectivisation of agriculture and 'de-kulakisation' in 1929-30, largely based on party archives. The authors-Danilov, Vyltsan, Zelenin, Moshkov and others- were strongly critical of Politburo policy in that period. Their writings were informed by a rather naive critical conception: they held that the decisions of the XVI Party Conference in April 1929, incorporating the optimum variant of the five-year plan and a relatively moderate pace of collectivisation, were entirely correct, but the November 1929 Central Committee Plenum, which speeded up collectivisation, and the decision to de-kulakise which followed, were imposed on the party by Stalin, who already exercised personal power, supported by his henchmen Molotov and Kaganovich.

  • The Command-Administrative System in Russia
    The Command -Administrative System in Russia The Historical Legacy Nikolai V. Zlobin During my stay in the United States, as a scholar at the Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies at the Woodrow Wilson Center, 1 often carne across (during conferences and discussions) people who commented that Russia was attempting to "re-invent the wheel," so to speak. They referred to the political and democratic reforms going on in the country. Many Americans, including several scientists and journalists, asked me why the Russians were attempting to "break down an open door"--constantly experimenting while they could simply tap into a huge pool of Western experience and know-how. An example sometimes given by them was the model of American democratic society. The Russians would only need to take it and adopt it, as much as it is possible, to their concrete conditions--to Russian soil. If this were to he done, things would immediately improve. This is a small exaggeration, of course, but this idea was often heard. When it was not expressed directly and outright, it showed itself through the use of many reference point:s and comparisons for Russian democratization baked on Western examples and models. On one hand, this opinion is just and fair in many ways. On the other, Russia's historical course (its history, traditions, culture, the mentality of its people, their value system, etc.) is very different from that of America and Europe. As is well known, one of the main results of the events of August 1991 in Russia was the demolition of the previous administrative, social, political and economic system.

  • A Journey Through Xixth and Xxth Century Russian Literature »
    « A journey through XIXth and XXth Century Russian Literature » (The present work is largely inspired by C.A. Moser’s book) Catherine Dalipagic Literature plays a pregnant role in the life of intellectual Russia. « Here literature is not a luxury, not a diversion. It is bone of the bone, flesh of the flesh, not only of the intelligentsia, but also of a growing number of the common people, intimately woven into their everyday existence, part and parcel of their thoughts, their aspirations, their social, political and economic life. It expresses their collective wrongs and sorrows, their collective hopes and strivings. Not only does it serve to lead the movements of the masses, but it is an integral component element of those movements. In a word, Russian literature is completely bound up with the life of Russian society, and its vitality is but the measure of the spiritual vitality of that society » Thomas Seltzer. I - RUSSIAN SENTIMENTALISM AND PREROMANTICISM (1790-1820) This period can be considered as a period of transition to the modern age. Let me give you a few characteristics of this period: it is the aftermath of the French revolution, the period is characterized by the rise of Napoleon and the Napoleonic wars, the French invasion of Russia in 1812. In Russia, the intellectual ferment will lead to the Decembrist uprising (1825) and it is a culturally chaotic period.

  • Jews and Leftist Politics
    Jews and Leftist Politics The relationships, past and present, between Jews and the political left remain of abiding interest to both the academic community and the public. Jews and Leftist Politics contains new and insightful chapters from world-renowned scholars and considers such matters as the political implications of Judaism; the relationships of leftists and Jews; the histories of Jews on the left in Europe, the United States, and Israel; contemporary anti-Zionism; the associations between specific Jews and Communist Parties; and the importance of gendered perspectives. It also contains fresh studies of canonical figures, including Gershom Scholem, Gustav Landauer, and Martin Buber, and examines the affiliations of Jews to prominent institutions, calling into question previously widely held assumptions. The volume is characterized by judicious appraisals made by respected authorities and sheds considerable light on conten- tious themes. jack jacobs is Professor of Political Science at John Jay College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York.

  • Perestroika's Revival Of
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Minnesota Digital Conservancy The NEP Era: Soviet Russia 1921-1928, 3 (2009), 1-35. ARTICLES LARS T. LIH (Montréal, Québec, Canada) PERESTROIKA’S REVIVAL OF NEP: A CONTEMPORARY CHRONICLE, 1985-1990 A NOTE OF EXPLANATION In 1987, a group of former students of Robert Tucker held a confer- ence in Princeton, New Jersey, devoted to various aspects of the pere- stroika reforms. This conference, organized by Stephen Cohen and Mi- chael Kraus, seemed an appropriate way to honor one of the few scholars in the Soviet field who, far from being flummoxed by perestroika, had long brought to our attention both the need and potential for reform in the Soviet Union. My report at this conference was on the topic of the reformers’ use of NEP as a legitimating symbol. The NEP theme proved to be an extremely rich guide to the debates swirling in the Soviet media that were such a hallmark of the Gorbachev years. Public opinion mutated at high speed during perestroika, and so, with a view to publication, my report was sub- stantially updated at least twice (whence the use of “chronicle” in the ti- tle). The final revision was made in the summer of 1990. At that point, events overtook us. As the Soviet Union crumbled and fell, the publica- tion of a volume devoted to the problems of perestroika was no longer vi- able. Enough time has now passed, however, to allow an out-of-date study of current events to turn into a useful study of a fascinating historical epi- sode.

  • Perestroika's Revival of Nep: a Contemporary Chronicle
    The NEP Era: Soviet Russia 1921-1928, 3 (2009), 1-35. ARTICLES LARS T. LIH (Montréal, Québec, Canada) PERESTROIKA’S REVIVAL OF NEP: A CONTEMPORARY CHRONICLE, 1985-1990 A NOTE OF EXPLANATION In 1987, a group of former students of Robert Tucker held a confer- ence in Princeton, New Jersey, devoted to various aspects of the pere- stroika reforms. This conference, organized by Stephen Cohen and Mi- chael Kraus, seemed an appropriate way to honor one of the few scholars in the Soviet field who, far from being flummoxed by perestroika, had long brought to our attention both the need and potential for reform in the Soviet Union. My report at this conference was on the topic of the reformers’ use of NEP as a legitimating symbol. The NEP theme proved to be an extremely rich guide to the debates swirling in the Soviet media that were such a hallmark of the Gorbachev years. Public opinion mutated at high speed during perestroika, and so, with a view to publication, my report was sub- stantially updated at least twice (whence the use of “chronicle” in the ti- tle).

Enough time has now passed, however, to allow an out-of-date study of current events to turn into a useful study of a fascinating historical epi- sode. Part of the historical value of my essay comes precisely from its time-bound perspective, so I have left it substantially unchanged from its 1990 rewrite.

  • « a Journey Through Xixth and Xxth Century Russian Literature »
    « A journey through XIXth and XXth Century Russian Literature » (The present work is largely inspired by C.A. Moser’s book) Catherine Dalipagic Literature plays a pregnant role in the life of intellectual Russia. « Here literature is not a luxury, not a diversion. It is bone of the bone, flesh of the flesh, not only of the intelligentsia, but also of a growing number of the common people, intimately woven into their everyday existence, part and parcel of their thoughts, their aspirations, their social, political and economic life. It expresses their collective wrongs and sorrows, their collective hopes and strivings. Not only does it serve to lead the movements of the masses, but it is an integral component element of those movements. In a word, Russian literature is completely bound up with the life of Russian society, and its vitality is but the measure of the spiritual vitality of that society » Thomas Seltzer. I - Russian sentimentalism and preromanticism (1790-1820) This period can be considered as a period of transition to the modern age. Let me give you a few characteristics of this period: it is the aftermath of the French revolution, the period is characterized by the rise of Napoleon and the Napoleonic wars, the French invasion of Russia in 1812. In Russia, the intellectual ferment will lead to the Decembrist uprising (1825) and it is a culturally chaotic period. A- Change : What was the development in European literary life in the XVIII th century ? In the middle of the eighteenth century, new literary trends began to contest
