Owing to rapidly rising prices of food and manufactured goods from 1916 onwards the First World War saw widespread bab'i bunty across the Russian empire. In Semirech'e – the only region of Russian Central Asia with a substantial settler population - the class politics of these protests were complicated by questions of ethnicity and religion. This article explores a series of bab'i bunty which erupted in the towns of Lepsinsk and Vernyi and their surrounding districts, in which Slavic soldiers' wives (soldatki) targeted Muslim-owned businesses, but also those owned by their fellow settlers. In between these outbreaks in the summer of 1916 Semirech'e would become the centre of a violent uprising by Kazakhs and Kyrgyz against the Tsarist regime.","PeriodicalId":42121,"journal":{"name":"Revolutionary Russia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46260162","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}

Those local historians seeking to provide an objective and accurate telling of the events of 1917 were quickly displaced by political hacks more interested in advancing their own careers. Those who persisted in their efforts to produce something akin to scholarly historical accounts of 1917 were ignored or vanquished. Ultimately, the original purpose of Istpart was superseded by more pressing concerns and the entire enterprise was abandoned. Holmes’s story of the Istpart abandonment serves as an illustrative microcosm of the fate of Soviet historians more generally. Serving the political and ideological mandates of the regime was soon de rigueur; the craft of objective historians be damned.

However, for the present reviewer the high point of Professor Finke’s study must be the sections he devotes to Three Sisters. There can be no doubt that even the most experienced scholar of Chekhov’s drama will find much that is new here. From a detailed history of the writing of the play and its staging, we then find a subtle and insightful account of the many motifs contained in it. ‘The space of this play is highly ambiguous: a respite for the officers garrisoned there, for the three sisters and their brother it is rather a kind of underworld in which they feel trapped’ (175). Gender issues are also re-evaluated: ‘in a play whose title declares it to be about sisters, military life becomes one way of defining masculinity. That term is provocatively absent in the play’s title— why indeed no mention of the brother?— but all the more central in its very absence’ (177). Finally, the all-important themes of time and place in this play are given attention in ways that will surely inspire new and more experienced scholars of Chekhov’s plays to reflection: ‘Moscow is not actually a destination one might reach by road or train; perhaps [the sisters] cannot return because the Moscow of their memories is not at all a place, but a time — and time is, after all, the first motif sounded in the play’s dialogue’ (179). It is hoped that readers of this short review will take the opportunity to read this magnificent new contribution to Chekhov studies. Professor Finke is indeed to be congratulated for this scholarly work.","PeriodicalId":42121,"journal":{"name":"Revolutionary Russia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135754732","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}

Among the myriad of engagements against the Soviet regime in the 1920s–1930s that Guchkov planned, the Conradi-Polunin Process (May–November 1923) in Lausanne stands out. Through previously unpublished documents and other sources, this article analyses two developments. First, the crucial role that Guchkov played in the absolution of both men, who conspired and killed Soviet diplomat Vatslav Vorovsky, as the main compiler of evidence against the prosecution, turning the trial into a denunciation of communism. Second, the way in which Guchkov’s efforts in the Process engaged with the creation of Théodore Aubert’s Entente Internationale Anticommuniste (1924–1950), the most ambitious anticommunist organization within the transnational Right in the interwar period.","PeriodicalId":42121,"journal":{"name":"Revolutionary Russia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41824337","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}
