  • History 251 Medieval Russia
    Medieval Russia Christian Raffensperger History 251H/C - 1W Fall Semester - 2012 MWF 11:30-12:30 Hollenbeck 318 Russia occupies a unique position between Europe and Asia. This class will explore the creation of the Russian state, and the foundation of the question of is Russia European or Asian? We will begin with the exploration and settlement of the Vikings in Eastern Europe, which began the genesis of the state known as “Rus’.” That state was integrated into the larger medieval world through a variety of means, from Christianization, to dynastic marriage, and economic ties. However, over the course of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries the creation of the crusading ideal and the arrival of the Mongols began the process of separating Rus’ (becoming Russia) from the rest of Europe. This continued with the creation of power centers in NE Russia, and the transition of the idea of empire from Byzantium at its fall to Muscovy. This story of medieval Russia is a unique one that impacts both the traditional history of medieval Europe, as well as the birth of the first Eurasian empire.

  • History Is Made in the Dark 4: Alexander Nevsky: the Prince, the Filmmaker and the Dictator
    1 History Is Made in the Dark 4: Alexander Nevsky: The Prince, the Filmmaker and the Dictator In May 1937, Sergei Eisenstein was offered the opportunity to make a feature film on one of two figures from Russian history, the folk hero Ivan Susanin (d. 1613) or the mediaeval ruler Alexander Nevsky (1220-1263). He opted for Nevsky. Permission for Eisenstein to proceed with the new project ultimately came from within the Kremlin, with the support of Joseph Stalin himself. The Soviet dictator was something of a cinephile, and he often intervened in Soviet film affairs. This high-level authorisation meant that the USSR’s most renowned filmmaker would have the opportunity to complete his first feature in some eight years, if he could get it through Stalinist Russia’s censorship apparatus. For his part, Eisenstein was prepared to retreat into history for his newest film topic. Movies on contemporary affairs often fell victim to Soviet censors, as Eisenstein had learned all too well a few months earlier when his collectivisation film, Bezhin Meadow (1937), was banned. But because relatively little was known about Nevsky’s life, Eisenstein told a colleague: “Nobody can 1 2 find fault with me. Whatever I do, the historians and the so-called ‘consultants’ [i.e. censors] won’t be able to argue with me”.i What was known about Alexander Nevsky was a mixture of history and legend, but the historical memory that was most relevant to the modern situation was Alexander’s legacy as a diplomat and military leader, defending a key western sector of mediaeval Russia from foreign foes.

  • Eisenstein's "Ivan the Terrible, Part II" As Cultural Artifact Beverly Blois
    Eisenstein's "Ivan The Terrible, Part II" as Cultural Artifact Beverly Blois In one of the most famous Russian paintings, Ilya Repin's "Ivan the Terrible with his murdered son," an unkempt and wild-eyed tsar clutches his expiring son, from whose forehead blood pours forth. Lying beside the two men is a large staff with which, moments earlier, Ivan had in a fit of rage struck his heir-apparent a mortal blow. This was a poignant, in fact tragic, moment in the history of Russia because from this event of the year 1581, a line of rulers stretching back to the ninth century effectively came to an end, ushering in a few years later the smutnoe vermia ("time of trouble") the only social crisis in Russian history that bears comparison with the revolution of 1917. Contemporary Russians tell an anekdot about this painting in which an Intourist guide, leading a group of Westerners rapidly through the rooms of the Tretiakov Gallery in Moscow, comes to Repin's canvas, and wishing, as always, to put the best face on things, says, "And here we have famous painting, Ivan the Terrible giving first aid to his son." The terribilita of the sixteenth century tsar had been modernized to fit the needs of the mid-twentieth century. Ivan had been reinterpreted. In a similar, but not so trifling way, Sergei Eisenstein was expected to translate the outlines of Ivan's accomplishments into the modern language of socialist realism when he was commissioned to produce his Ivan films in 1941. While part one of his film, released in 1945, won the Stalin Prize, First Class, part two, which was very dose to release in 1946, was instead withheld.

  • The Post Workshop Tour Round the Golden Ring of Russia

Nowadays they are often called "museums in the open air". Cathedral and churches, convents and fine art museums strike by their beauty. A tour of the Golden Ring will give you a wonderful possibility to make the acquaintance of the history of ancient Russians towns, their culture and their traditions. The duration of the Tour: 5 days/ 4 nights Golden Ring Towns, which played the great role in the Russian ancient history: Vladimir – Suzdal – Kostroma – Yaroslavl - Rostov Veliky (Rostov the Great) - Pereslavl Zalessky - Sergiev Posad I Vladimir Vladimir is referred to as the gates to "Russian Golden Ring". The city came about at the end of the X century and is named after the Kiev-born prince Vladimir Svyatoslavich, the baptizer of Russia. The city was in its prime and achieved historical significance in the middle of the XII and beginning of the XIII centuries when the fundaments of a new government was forming. International trade and cultural relations were actively developing and the city opened its own architectural school. The defensive walls, the main city gates, the Golden gates, the gold-topped Uspensky Cathedral with frescoes by Andrei Rublev, and the Dmitrievsky cathedral are still preserved in Vladimir as proof of the past beauty and power of the former capital of Ancient Russia.

  • Sediment Balance of the Volga Reservoirs
    Sediment balance of the Volga reservoirs IM. A. Ziminova Abstract. The main input component of the Volga Reservoir sediment balance is the product of bank and bed abrasion (60—80 per cent of the total input). The second component is the river suspended sediment discharge (20-40 per cent}. Only 1 -S per cent of the total sediment input is derived from plankton and the higher aquatics. The main component of the output is sedimentation (60-98 per cent). Suspended sediment discharge from reservoirs varies from 2 to 40 per cent of the total output. Résumé. La plus grande partie des entrés dans le bilan de sédiments des réservoirs de la Volga se compose des produits d'affouillement des beiges et du lit, il en résulte 60-80 pour cent du total des entrées. La deuxième place est occupée par l'écoulement des matières en suspension transportées par les rivières (20-40 pour cent). Le poids qui résulte de la production du phy to plankton et des plantes aquatiques supérieures constitue 1-5 pour cent de la rentrée générale. La principale partie des sorties est la sédimentation (60-98 pour cent). Les transports solides en suspension sortant des réservoirs constituent de 2 à 40 pour cent du total des sorties. Sediment balances of reservoirs are being compiled to estimate the silting of reservoirs and to forecast the tendency of this process. These balances allow one to determine the value of and to reveal the causes of quantitive changes in the sediment discharge under the conditions of flow regulation, and to consider possible changes in the composition of sediments.

THE REPUBLIC OF NOVGOROD (‘ LORD NOVGOROD THE GREAT," Gospodin Velikii Novgorod, as it once called itself, is the starting-point of Russian history. It is also without a rival among the Russian city-states of the Middle Ages. Kiev and Moscow are greater in political importance, especially in the earliest and latest mediaeval times-before the Second Crusade and after the fall of Constantinople-but no Russian town of any age has the same individuality and self-sufficiency, the same sturdy republican independence, activity, and success. Who can stand against God and the Great Novgorod ?-Kto protiv Boga i Velikago Novgoroda .J-was the famous proverbial expression of this self-sufficiency and success.
