From Vladimir Lenin to Vladimir Putin Russia in Search of Its Identity: 1913–2023

From Vladimir Lenin to Vladimir Putin Russia in Search of Its Identity: 1913–2023

This book integrates Soviet and post-Soviet Russian history into a coherent whole by focusing on the culture role models habits and behavior patterns that provide continuity between various political regimes systems and rulers from Vladimir Lenin to Vladimir Putin. The unifying theme of all these periods is the central question of identity – how the Russians have defined themselves their country and their values. Why did the Bolsheviks try to erase any trace of Old Russia and with what did they try to replace it? Why did Stalin wipe out the kulaks and the old Bolsheviks? What were the political consequences of the Great Patriotic War on the Russians as people? When post-Stalin Russia slowly weakened and gave way to the humanism and Westernization that led to the collapse of the Soviet system why did the 1990s generate a resurgence of anti-western nationalism? And how to explain the slow and steady break with the West under President Putin? This will be a core textbook for undergraduate and graduate students of Russian and European history and a valuable text for all those interested in how the Russian past influenced and shaped current politics and in the international East–West divide in particular. | From Vladimir Lenin to Vladimir Putin Russia in Search of Its Identity: 1913–2023

Transnational Russian-American Travel Writing

Transnational Russian-American Travel Writing

In this study Marinova examines the diverse practices of crossing boundaries tactics of translation and experiences of double and multiple political and national attachments evident in texts about Russo-American encounters from the end of the American Civil War to the Russian Revolution of 1905. Marinova brings together published writings archival materials and personal correspondence of well or less known travelers of diverse ethnic backgrounds and artistic predilections: from the quintessential American Mark Twain to the Russian-Jewish ethnographer and revolutionary Vladimir Bogoraz; from masters of realist prose such as the Ukrainian-born Vladimir Korolenko and the Jewish-Russian-American Abraham Cahan to romantic wanderers like Edna Proctor Isabel Hapgood or Grigorii Machtet. By highlighting the reification of problematic stereotypes of ethnic and racial difference in these texts Marinova illuminates the astonishing success of the Cold War period’s rhetoric of mutual hatred and exclusion and its continuing legacy today. | Transnational Russian-American Travel Writing

Putin’s “Turn to the East” in the Xi Jinping Era

Rozman Christoffersen and a team of expert contributors analyze the evolution of Vladimir Putin’s reorientation to Asia since 2012.

As the years have passed however this has turned into a tight reliance on the bilateral relationship with China. Rozman Christoffersen and their team explore how the “Turn” proceeded and developed over the course of a decade ending by examining the impact of the Ukraine war on Sino-Russian relations. Their analysis focuses on Russia’s perspective taking into account an extensive range of Russian publications to look at how priorities shifted. While affirming the continued strengthening of ties between Beijing and Moscow they identify many tensions between them noting especially Russia’s illusions about the relationship. A comprehensive review of Russian policy toward the Indo-Pacific which is essential reading for courses on Russian foreign policy and international relations in East Asia. | Putin’s “Turn to the East” in the Xi Jinping Era
