Download or read book The Russian Empire 1450 1801 written by Nancy Shields Kollmann and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Russian identity and historical experience has been largely shaped by Russia's imperial past: an empire that was founded in the early modern era and endures in large part today. The Russian Empire 1450-1801 surveys how the areas that made up the empire were conquered and how they were governed. It considers the Russian empire a 'Eurasian empire', characterized by a 'politics of difference': the rulers and their elites at the center defined the state's needs minimally - with control over defense, criminal law, taxation, and mobilization of resources - and otherwise tolerated local religions, languages, cultures, elites, and institutions. The center related to communities and religions vertically, according each a modicum of rights and autonomies, but didn't allow horizontal connections across nobilities, townsmen, or other groups potentially with common interests to coalesce. Thus, the Russian empire was multi-ethnic and multi-religious; Nancy Kollmann gives detailed attention to the major ethnic and religious groups, and surveys the government's strategies of governance - centralized bureaucracy, military reform, and a changed judicial system. The volume pays particular attention to the dissemination of a supranational ideology of political legitimacy in a variety of media - written sources and primarily public ritual, painting, and particularly architecture. Beginning with foundational features, such as geography, climate, demography, and geopolitical situation, The Russian Empire 1450-1801 explores the empire's primarily agrarian economy, serfdom, towns and trade, as well as the many religious groups - primarily Orthodoxy, Islam, and Buddhism. It tracks the emergence of an 'Imperial nobility' and a national self-consciousness that was, by the end of the eighteenth century, distinctly imperial, embracing the diversity of the empire's many peoples and cultures.

Download or read book The Russian Empire of To Day and Yesterday 1913 written by Nervin O. Winter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russian Empire of to-Day and Yesterday, 1913: The Country and Its Peoples, Together With a Brief Review of Its History, Past and Present, and a Survey of Its Social, Political and Economic Conditions It has been the aim of the author to trace the growth of Russia, and show how Moscow, one of the smallest of the principalities, or appanages of mediaeval times, gradually became dominant and extended its sovereignty over the whole of what is now the Russian Empire; to show how the Muscovites, once the least important of the Slav tribes, acquired ascendancy and overcame all rivals, including their far more powerful Slavonic neigh bour, Poland. It is a startling story, full of surprises and dramatic incidents, the like of which can be scarcely duplicated in the history of any other nation of'europe. With the exception of a study of Russian history, the author had read very little descriptive of Russia before his own travels throughout the Empire. He wished to form his own opinions at first hand, rather than visit the country with impressions previously formed. The read ing of a book descriptive of a country by a vigorous writer is sure to leave permanent impressions, which will colour the reader's opinion, and the better the book is written the stronger will be such effect. Since returning from his travels, however, which included a visit to every important section in European Russia, and some unusual opportunities for investigation, the author has read prac tically every book of consequence that has appeared in English upon that Empire. It would be impossible to give credit to every writer whose work has proved helpful in the preparation of this volume, but a list of those books will be found in the Bibliography in the Appendix. Many writers have given us travel sketches which have been the result of casual observation and a superficial study of the country, and these works will either be found extremely laudatory or else filled with aberrant criticism. They are either intense admirers or inconsiderate detractors of Russia and things Russian. It has been the aim of the author in the ensuing pages to give the Russian due credit for his good qualities, and at the same time not to Spare comment where criticism is due. Nothing has been ih cluded for the purpose of sensationalism; nor, on the other hand, has anything been omitted for fear it might offend Russian sensibilities.

Book excerpt: The "national question" and how to impose control over its diverse ethnic identities has long posed a problem for the Russian state. This major survey of Russia as a multi-ethnic empire spans the imperial years from the sixteenth century to 1917, with major consideration of the Soviet phase. It asks how Russians incorporated new territories, how they were resisted, what the character of a multi-ethnic empire was and how, finally, these issues related to nationalism.

Download or read book Empire Speaks Out written by Ilya Gerasimov and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-06-02 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians habitually write about empires that expand, wage wars, and collapse, as if empires were self-evident and self-conscious entities with a distinct and clear sense of purpose. The stories of empires are told in the language of modern nation-centred social sciences: multi-cultural and heterogeneous empires of the past appear either as huge “nations” with a common language, culture, and territory, or as amalgamations of would-be nations striving to gain independence. Empire Speaks Out reconstructs the historical encounter of the Russian Empire of the seventeenth through the early twentieth centuries with the complex challenge of modernity. It does so by taking the self-awareness of empire seriously, and by looking into how bureaucrats, ideologues, politicians, scholars, and modern professionals described the ethnic, cultural, and social diversity of the empire. “Empire” then reveals itself not through deliberate and well-conceived actions of some mysterious political body, but as a series of “imperial situations” that different people encounter and perceive in common categories. The rationalization of previously intuitive social practices as imperial languages is the central theme of the collection.
