Abstract

The monograph is dedicated to the broad topic of the development of printing and publishing in Russia in the 18th - early 20th centuries. The study is not generalizing: this task is too complex and multifaceted. The authors touched upon different and at the same time interrelated subjects, some of which were practically not previously investigated. The reviewer notes that the project is based on Japanese historians and literary critics, which once again shows the productive work of Japanese historiography of late imperial Russia. Nine chapters of the monograph are divided into three parts according to the key periods: XVIII-XIX, XIX-XX centuries. and the eve of the 1917 Revolution. At the same time, thematic blocks are visible in each part. The first focuses on the Russian language and literature during the period of their transformation into a part of world culture. Y. Toriyama highlights the activities of the Society Striving for the Translation of Foreign Books created by Catherine II. A.I. Reitblat draws attention to the formation of the very concept of Russian classical literature. H. Kaizawa makes an attempt to rethink the “reactionary” 1880s, noting the importance of this period for the development of Russian literature, recognition of its importance and influence in Russia and around the world. The second part focuses on the development of the press of the peoples of the empire and the role of foreigners. The importance of the latter is noted by Y. Tatsumi, who speaks about several immigrants from Poland and Germany who managed to create large publishing firms in Russia in the second half of the 19th century. T. Inoue analyzes in detail the influence of the Russian press on the national identity and representation of the Kalmyks. D. Ross tells about the development of newspapers and magazines in the Tatar language, and A. Sakurama about the publishing activities of the baptized Tatars. Finally, the third part focuses on the impact of the 1905 Revolution and World War I on print and publishing. M. Stockdale examines in detail the period of 1914-1918, noting the importance of the press in the interest of Russian society in the events on the fronts of the war. T. Tsurumi briefly describes the situation and development of the Zionist press in Siberia and Chinese Harbin on the eve and during the Revolution and the Russian Civil War. On the whole, the monograph leaves the impression of a thorough work, in which important and interesting plots, though often poorly covered in historiography, are raised. Perhaps, there is a lack of a more detailed analysis of the development of the press during the revolutionary period, but this does not reduce the merits of the book, a rare example in modern historiography of late imperial Russia. The author declares no conflicts of interests.
该专著致力于18世纪至20世纪初俄罗斯印刷和出版发展的广泛主题。这项研究并不是泛化的:这项任务太复杂,涉及多个方面。作者触及了不同的,同时又相互关联的主题,其中一些实际上以前没有研究过。审稿人指出,该项目以日本历史学家和文学评论家为基础,这再次显示了日本帝国晚期俄罗斯历史编纂的丰硕成果。本专著共九章,按照十八至十九世纪、十九至二十世纪的关键时期分为三部分。1917年革命前夕同时,每个部分都可以看到主题块。第一部分着重于俄罗斯语言和文学在其转变为世界文化的一部分的时期。鸟山强调了叶卡捷琳娜二世创立的“外国图书翻译协会”的活动。A.I. Reitblat将注意力集中在俄罗斯古典文学概念的形成上。H. Kaizawa试图重新思考“反动的”19世纪80年代,注意到这一时期对俄罗斯文学发展的重要性,承认其在俄罗斯和世界各地的重要性和影响。第二部分主要论述了帝国民族新闻的发展和外国人的作用。Tatsumi提到了后者的重要性,他谈到了几个来自波兰和德国的移民,他们在19世纪下半叶成功地在俄罗斯创建了大型出版公司。T. Inoue详细分析了俄罗斯媒体对卡尔梅克人的民族认同和表现的影响。D. Ross讲述了鞑靼语报纸和杂志的发展,A. Sakurama讲述了受洗鞑靼人的出版活动。最后,第三部分侧重于1905年革命和第一次世界大战对印刷出版的影响。斯托克代尔详细考察了1914年至1918年这段时期,指出了媒体在战争前线事件中对俄罗斯社会利益的重要性。Tsurumi简要介绍了在俄国革命前夕和俄国内战期间,西伯利亚和中国哈尔滨的犹太复国主义报刊的情况和发展。总的来说,这部专著给人的印象是一部彻底的作品,其中提出了重要而有趣的情节,尽管在史学中往往很少被提及。也许,缺乏对革命时期新闻界发展的更详细的分析,但这并不影响这本书的价值,它是俄罗斯帝国晚期现代史学中罕见的例子。作者声明没有利益冲突。
