Beginning in nineteenth-century texts by eminent writers such as Anton Chekhov and Fyodor Dostoevsky, this dichotomy continued in places of incarceration after the revolutionary events of 1917. In particular it could be seen through prisoner newspapers, one of the cultural-educational initiatives launched by the new regime in an attempt to re-educate its incarcerated population. This article examines a number of prisoner publications from the Secret Police Camps of the 1920s in order to highlight shifting penal hierarchies and the persistence of the political/criminal binary in the early years of the Soviet state.","PeriodicalId":42121,"journal":{"name":"Revolutionary Russia","volume":"32 1","pages":"272 - 289"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09546545.2019.1681172","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49448619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article examines three aspects of Skoropadsky’s reign in order to highlight the obstacles and circumstances of post-imperial state building under occupation. Focusing on the circumstances of Skoropadsky’s rise to power, his propaganda strategy, and his agrarian reform project, it will show how the Central Powers not only enabled Skoropadsky’s rise as a dictator but also how this attempt at state building defies the traditional framework of national and socialist state building after 1917.","PeriodicalId":42121,"journal":{"name":"Revolutionary Russia","volume":"32 1","pages":"226 - 250"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09546545.2019.1710046","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44588159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article presents analysis of Nikolai Aseev’s 1927 poema (narrative poem) Semën Proskakov in terms of its relation to the anniversary and ongoing attempts to formulate memory of the revolutionary past. It treats the poema as a narrative of the civil war told partially through accounts of actual participants and partially as a fictionalized rendition of these stories. Highlighting adherence to and deviation from source material, the article argues that while the Lef theory of factography provided a basis for Aseev’s narration of the civil war, it did not preclude inscription of historical figures into literary paradigms prevalent in Soviet literature at the time.","PeriodicalId":42121,"journal":{"name":"Revolutionary Russia","volume":"32 1","pages":"109 - 86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09546545.2019.1603370","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44289972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This narrative became central to how subsequent émigrés imagined their journeys abroad, simultaneously asserting historical continuity with other ‘waves’ of Russian emigration and defining their own migration trajectory in opposition to them. This research, based on contemporary ethnographic interviews and archival sources across Moscow, Paris, Berlin, and New York examines how tropes of a spiritual connection to Russia made popular by first-wave émigrés continue to circulate amongst present-day Russian intellectuals. Simultaneously, beginning in the early 2000s, Russian state officials began to promote an irredentist, nationalist discourse. This paper argues that at least part of this ideology is derived from first-wave émigré discourses, showing that Russian state strategists have increasingly come to rely on a fragile and internally-contested set of diasporic narratives for Russia’s own self-definition.","PeriodicalId":42121,"journal":{"name":"Revolutionary Russia","volume":"32 1","pages":"154 - 179"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09546545.2019.1607023","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47402084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
