Epic in scope, intimate in detail, heartbreaking in its human drama, this is the first book to recount the history of the nobility caught up the maelstrom of the Bolshevik Revolution and the creation of Stalin’s Russia. Historian Douglas Smith's Former People is a book filled with chilling tales of looted palaces, burning estates, of desperate flights from marauding thugs and Red Army soldiers, of imprisonment, exile, and execution. It is the story of how a centuries’-old elite famous for its glittering wealth, its service to the Tsar and Empire, was dispossessed and destroyed along with the rest of old Russia. Drawing on the private archives of two great families – the Sheremetovs and the Golitsyns – Former People is also a story of survival, of how many of the tsarist ruling class, so-called 'former people' and 'class enemies,' abandoned, displaced, and repressed, overcame the loss of their world and struggled to find a place for themselves and their families in the new, hostile world of the Soviet Union. It reveals how even at the darkest depths of the terror, daily life went on – men and women fell in love, children were born and educated, friends gathered, simple pleasures were cherished. Ultimately, Former People is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

"After a humiliating defeat in the Crimean War, the Russian Empire struggled to reassert its position as a global power. A small noble family returned from the siege of Sevastopol and joined the rulers' efforts to advance Russian standing in the decades before 1917. Leaving Home tells the story of the Mansurovs, who were known to nineteenth-century observers as resourceful imperial agents and staunch supporters of Orthodoxy. In close interplay with scholarship and the media, they built churches and pilgrim hostels to increase Russian dominance within its borders and in the Ottoman Empire. They facilitated communication between the Russian Empire and the wider Orthodox world and expanded its institutional infrastructure in areas of religion and scholarship outside Russia. Some of the family's achievements stand to this day: the Russian complex in Jerusalem and an impressive Orthodox convent in Riga. When the Revolution came, they faced stigmatization as former nobles, believers, and monarchists. Impoverishment and arrests became part of their daily lives in Soviet Russia. Leaving Home is a study of the momentous role played by elite families in Russia's international involvement in the age of empire. It shows how three generations of a mobile noble family advanced the intertwined causes of the Russian Empire and Orthodoxy, using family resources and tools of intimacy. Women were crucial for the family's efforts, both behind the scenes and in public. Russia, Orthodoxy, and noble family life emerge as part of the European trans-imperial scene." --

This work focuses upon the military problems of the Ottoman Empire in the era 1839 to 1878. The author examines the Crimean War (1853 to 1856) from the perspective of the Ottoman army, using British and French sources, as well as the few available Ottoman materials. Scholarship on the war has ignored this aspect, but the high quality of work about the British, French, and Russian involvement in the war has enabled the present study to advance its own work. The inability of the Ottoman high command to learn the lessons of the Crimean War led to serious defeats in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878. Revolts occurring in this period also receive attention. While the book analyzes the nature of war in the Balkans and Anatolia, its primary objective is the study of the war's social and psychological influences. This perspective runs as a theme throughout the book, but the author focuses on the psychological aspects in the final chapter using comparative perspectives. .

'This war is not the end but the beginning of violence. It is the forge in which the world will be hammered into new borders and new communities. New molds want to be filled with blood, and power will be wielded with a hard fist.' Ernst Jünger (1918) For the Western allies 11 November 1918 has always been a solemn date - the end of fighting which had destroyed a generation, and also a vindication of a terrible sacrifice with the total collapse of their principal enemies: the German Empire, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. But for much of the rest of Europe this was a day with no meaning, as a continuing, nightmarish series of conflicts engulfed country after country. In this highly original, gripping book Robert Gerwarth asks us to think again about the true legacy of the First World War. In large part it was not the fighting on the Western front which proved so ruinous to Europe's future, but the devastating aftermath, as countries on both sides of the original conflict were wrecked by revolution, pogroms, mass expulsions and further major military clashes. If the War itself had in most places been a struggle purely between state-backed soldiers, these new conflicts were mainly about civilians and paramilitaries, and millions of people died across central, eastern, and south-eastern Europe before the USSR and a series of rickety and exhausted small new states came into being. Everywhere there were vengeful people, their lives racked by a murderous sense of injustice, and looking for the opportunity to take retribution against enemies real and imaginary. Only a decade later, the rise of the Third Reich and other totalitarian states provided them with the opportunity they had been looking for.

Defenders of the Motherland studies how the most powerful social groups in tsarist Russia reacted to the challenges posed by the Russian Revolutions of 1917. Arguing that elite groups-especially nobles, landowners, and officers-played an important role in these events, Matthew Rendle shows how the alienation of tsarist elites from the tsar during the First World War and their support for the new Provisional Government in February 1917 secured the initial success of the revolution. Elites engaged actively with revolutionary politics, serving in the government and forming unions to promote their interests and gather wider support. In doing so, they fostered fears of counter-revolution amongst the lower social classes, radicalizing the popular mood and paving the way for the Bolsheviks. Although increasingly disillusioned with events, elites were not solely counter-revolutionary and were far from united. A poorly-supported military revolt in August 1917 demonstrated different aspirations for the future, whilst as many served the Bolshevik regime after October 1917 as opposed it. The divisions that had existed prior to 1917, exacerbated by the revolution, consequently undermined the White armies' opposition to Bolshevism during Russia's civil war. Nevertheless, the Bolsheviks' fear of 'class enemies' was endemic, and their obsession with removing the threat that former elites posed laid the foundations of the violent and repressive Soviet regime.

Die Teilungen Polens waren in der Geschichte des Russischen Reichs die größte territoriale Expansion nach Westen. Die Zaren standen fortan vor der Aufgabe, eine historische Region in ein autokratisch verfasstes Imperium einzugliedern. Dazu sollte der polnische Adel mit seinem ausgeprägten ständischen Bewusstsein in den russischen Dienstadel integriert werden. Zudem musste das unterverwaltete Zarenreich in den annektierten Gebieten eine staatliche Bürokratie etablieren. In beiden Fällen war man auf die Kooperation des polnischen Adels angewiesen. Die Studie nimmt eine russisch-polnische Perspektive ein und versucht somit, die lange Zeit vorherrschenden nationalen Sichtweisen aufzubrechen und beiden Seiten gerecht zu werden.

Anhand ausgewählter Autobiographien russischer Adeliger im Exil nach 1917 zeigt Julia Hildt, wie die entmachtete Elite des Zarenreiches ihr Leben vor dem Hintergrund der historischen Ereignisse vor und nach dem Revolutionsjahr 1917 dargelegt hat. Neben der eigenen Selbstversicherung und Rechtfertigung dienten die autobiographischen Texte der Tradierung »genuin adeliger« Werte sowie der Bewahrung russischer Kultur in der Emigration. Die Autobiographien waren Teil einer Kommunikationsstrategie, mit denen der Adel um die Deutungshoheit der historischen Geschehnisse kämpfte. Das Schreiben half des Weiteren gegen das Vergessenwerden in einer Zeit, in der die sowjetische Geschichtsschreibung die Erinnerung an die »Ehemaligen« aus dem kollektiven Gedächtnis Russlands zu tilgen versuchte. By reference to selected autobiographies of Russian noble émigrés, Julia Hildt shows how the disempowered elite of the Russian Empire presented the circumstances of their life in the light of historic events before and after the Russian Revolution 1917. The autobiographies were part of a communication strategy the nobility used to fight for the prerogative of interpretation. Besides one's own self-insurance and justification the autobiographies served the passing on of "genuine noble" values as well as the preservation of the Russian culture in exile. Furthermore, writing served as a prevention of vanishing into oblivion during a time the Soviet historiography tried to extinguish the remembrance of the "former people" from the collective memory of Russia.

Der Adel im Königreich Kroatien-Slawonien ist weder untergegangen noch dekadent geworden, sondern auf eine spezifische Weise „oben" geblieben, indem er an dem gesamtgesellschaftlich relevanten Prozess des Nation-Buildings beteiligt war. Erstmals werden in dieser Darstellung die südosteuropäischen (Adels-)Landschaften in den neueren historisch geführten Adelsdiskurs einbezogen.
