Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birth of the Russian Democracy Russia that volumes are written with the special purpose of proving that there is a Ukrainian culture in existence. The Ukrainians are justly proud of their great poet, Shevchenko, but the Great Russians love him and consider him their own. On the other hand, the greatest writers of the Ukrainian nationality, Gogol and Korolenko, wrote in Russian and will live forever in the history of Russian literature and culture. The beauty and the power of Russia's culture may be best illustrated by the fact that it drew to itself even nationalities far distant from the Russian in their historical and cultural traditions. From this point of view, of special interest are the Jewish and the Caucasian problems, as cultural problems in Russia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russian Revolution The' birth of democratic ideas in Russia dates back to the beginning of the nineteenth century. The French Revolution is the direct progenitor of the Russian revolutionary move ment. The democratic doctrines which ema nated from France after the Revolution, spread ing throughout Europe and sowing the seeds of democracy, were destined to penetrate Russia in a most peculiar manner. Napoleon's inva sion of Russia created the soil on which the future Russian revolutionary movement was to grow )that invasion resulted in a Russian army S invasion of France. The Russian army of a century ago was officered by educated young aristocrats. The customary education of the Russian nobility was then wholly French. The current ideas in France could not but deeply affect the Russians, whose prolonged stay in Western Europe had already imbued most of them with the radical theories of the time.

Discussion of its affairs passionately bitter. We are able to disagree about France or Fiume Without losing our temper. But difference of opinion about Russia distils a peculiar venom. This was very noticeable to me over there. Disagree ments were all passionate and personal. I attributed it to nearness to the problems and perhaps to some infectious ness in the excessive partisanship which the Russians bring to their political controversies. But since I have returned to America I find it just as noticeable here. The subject of Russia turns dinner-table discussions into brawls, turns old friendships into feuds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Democracy and Bolshevism Such is the picture of the bolshevist régime in Russia, and you can readily see that the Russian problem at this moment is prob ably not so much a political as a moral problem. The Russian people are going through impossible tortures as a consequence of Russia's participation in the war. Loyal to her allies, Russia stood at her post for three long years, sacrificing not less than of her best sons. The strain of this war was too great for Russia and she collapsed, and the bolshevist régime is the result of the breakdown of her economic life. Russia is lying now in seas of blood and tears because she has sacrificed every thing for the Allied cause. It is up to the Allies to help her.

Book Synopsis Democracy Derailed in Russia by : M. Steven Fish
Download or read book Democracy Derailed in Russia written by M. Steven Fish and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-08-29 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why has democracy failed to take root in Russia? After shedding the shackles of Soviet rule, some countries in the postcommunist region undertook lasting democratization. Yet Russia did not. Russia experienced dramatic political breakthroughs in the late 1980s and early 1990s, but it subsequently failed to maintain progress toward democracy. In this book, M. Steven Fish offers an explanation for the direction of regime change in post-Soviet Russia. Relying on cross-national comparative analysis as well as on in-depth field research in Russia, Fish shows that Russia's failure to democratize has three causes: too much economic reliance on oil, too little economic liberalization, and too weak a national legislature. Fish's explanation challenges others that have attributed Russia's political travails to history, political culture, or to 'shock therapy' in economic policy. The book offers a theoretically original and empirically rigorous explanation for one of the most pressing political problems of our time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of a Russian Governor Urussov withdrew from the cabinet, and was elected by a large majority of his constituents to the first Duma. His conduct in the Duma was noted for its frankness and broad democracy, and freedom from narrow party affiliations. His maiden speech may be regarded as the most notable address delivered before the first Duma. In this now celebrated utterance on the pogroms,1 he declared that one must perceive in them a uniform system of attacks carefully planned by the government as a matter of policy. Since that utterance events have demon strated that the several ministries, and the inner court circles are the active instigators of the pogroms by means of the organiza tions of the so-called True Russian Men. These men and their supporters at the court were designated by Urussov, in his speech on the Byelostok massacres, as watchmen and police men by education and pogromists by conviction.

Book Synopsis Russia's Unfinished Revolution by : Michael McFaul
Download or read book Russia's Unfinished Revolution written by Michael McFaul and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2001-08-23 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, dictators ruled Russia. Tsars and Communist Party chiefs were in charge for so long some analysts claimed Russians had a cultural predisposition for authoritarian leaders. Yet, as a result of reforms initiated by Mikhail Gorbachev, new political institutions have emerged that now require election of political leaders and rule by constitutional procedures. Michael McFaul—described by the New York Times as "one of the leading Russia experts in the United States"—traces Russia's tumultuous political history from Gorbachev's rise to power in 1985 through the 1999 resignation of Boris Yeltsin in favor of Vladimir Putin. McFaul divides his account of the post-Soviet country into three periods: the Gorbachev era (1985-1991), the First Russian Republic (1991–1993), and the Second Russian Republic (1993–present). The first two were, he believes, failures—failed institutional emergence or failed transitions to democracy. By contrast, new democratic institutions did emerge in the third era, though not the institutions of a liberal democracy. McFaul contends that any explanation for Russia's successes in shifting to democracy must also account for its failures. The Russian/Soviet case, he says, reveals the importance of forging social pacts; the efforts of Russian elites to form alliances failed, leading to two violent confrontations and a protracted transition from communism to democracy. McFaul spent a great deal of time in Moscow in the 1990s and witnessed firsthand many of the events he describes. This experience, combined with frequent visits since and unparalleled access to senior Russian policymakers and politicians, has resulted in an astonishingly well-informed account. Russia's Unfinished Revolution is a comprehensive history of Russia during this crucial period.

This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russia, Poland and the Ukraine As it is being asserted in E n g l i s h circles, that Rus sia is not so black as she is painted, and that Russia is going to turn a new leaf, and as Russian Liberals and even a large number of Russian revolutionists are joining loudly in this chorus of praises of the Russian conver sion, it is the duty of such Europeans as wish, in this question, to form their judgment in accordance with the state of things, not of to examine with the utmost caution what has been the attitude of the Russian Liberals, and of the other coming men in Russia, with regard to this Ukrainian question, and how the latter has been progressing. May we expect democracy and freedom for the Ukra ine At the present moment this question is a far more important one to put to the conscience of the con verted Russian nation than that of the democracy and freedom of Poland and Finland, however important these questions may also be. for it is going to cost a great deal more of moral conviction on the part of the Great Russians to do justice to the Ukraine, than to do justice to Poland and Finland.

Book Synopsis My Disillusionment in Russia by : Emma Goldman
Download or read book My Disillusionment in Russia written by Emma Goldman and published by Standard Ebooks. This book was released on 2022-01-05T03:31:26Z with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1919, at the height of the anti-leftist Palmer Raids conducted by the Wilson administration, the anarchist activist and writer Emma Goldman was deported to the nascent Soviet Union. Despite initial plans to fight the deportation order in court, Goldman eventually acquiesced in order to take part in the new revolutionary Russia herself. While initially supportive of the Bolsheviks, with some reservations, Goldman’s firsthand experiences with Bolshevik oppression and corruption prompted her titular disillusionment and eventual emigration to Germany. In My Disillusionment in Russia, Goldman records her travels throughout Russia as part of a revolutionary museum commission, and her interactions with a variety of political and literary figures like Vladimir Lenin, Maxim Gorky, John Reed, and Peter Kropotkin. Goldman concludes her account with a critique of the Bolshevik ideology in which she asserts that revolutionary change in institutions cannot take place without corresponding changes in values. My Disillusionment in Russia had a troubled publication history, since the first American printing in 1923 omitted the last twelve chapters of what was supposed to be a thirty-three chapter book. (Somehow, the last chapters failed to reach the publisher, who did not suspect the book to be incomplete.) The situation was remedied with the publication of the remaining chapters in 1924 as part of a volume titled My Further Disillusionment in Russia. This Standard Ebooks edition compiles both volumes into a single volume, following the intent of the original manuscript. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
Book Synopsis Lincoln and the Russians by : Albert Alexander Woldman
Download or read book Lincoln and the Russians written by Albert Alexander Woldman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-05 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln and the Russians: The Story of Russian-American Diplomatic Relations During the Civil War If the analogy between russian-american relations of Lincoln's day and those of the present period is not identical, the similarity is, never theless, substantial. Then as now the Russians as a people had never experienced real freedom. The territorial and other demands of the Soviets of today are not much different from those of their czaristic predecessors. Then, as now, the centuries-old desire of Russia to reach an ice-free port on the Black Sea, the Bosphorus or the Persian Gulf met with the unswerving opposition of the British and their allies. Then, as now, Russia was the most hated nation on the continent. The repressive despotism of the Czar's government was then as odious to democratic America as is Russia's communism today. But our Ministers to St. Petersburg were instructed to do all within their power to con firm and strengthen the traditional relations of amity and friendship between the two nations. Lincoln found political collaboration (as distinguished from ideologi cal rapprochement) between the world's most liberal democracy and the world's most repressive despotism not only feasible but imperative for the Republic's welfare.
