Vladislav Krasnov's book comes at the right moment to give American readers help in understanding the momentous changes taking place in the Russian heartland of the Soviet Union. What do they portend? When Western eyes were fiXed by the media on the Gorbachev phenomenon and the perestroika slogan, Dr. Krasnov was drawing our attention instead to the rapid coming of the "future beyond Gorbachev." His timely analysis looked past the vain attempt of this last of the Soviet Marxian princes at salvaging Communism and on to the new world being born today in the ancestral lands of Russia.

While we know a great deal about the benefits of regional integration, there is a knowledge gap when it comes to areas with weak, dysfunctional, or nonexistent regional fabric in political and economic life. Further, deliberate “un-regioning,” applied by actors external as well as internal to a region, has also gone unnoticed despite its increasingly sophisticated modern application by Russia in its peripheries. This volume helps us understand what Anna Ohanyan calls “fractured regions” and their consequences for contemporary global security. Ohanyan introduces a theory of regional fracture to explain how and why regions come apart, consolidate dysfunctional ties within the region, and foster weak states. Russia Abroad specifically examines how Russia employs regional fracture as a strategy to keep states on its periphery in Eurasia and the Middle East weak and in Russia's orbit. It argues that the level of regional maturity in Russia’s vast vicinities is an important determinant of Russian foreign policy in the emergent multipolar world order. Many of these fractured regions become global security threats because weak states are more likely to be hubs of transnational crime, havens for militants, or sites of protracted conflict. The regional fracture theory is offered as a fresh perspective about the post-American world and a way to broaden international relations scholarship on comparative regionalism.

The book sheds light on the preconditions and consequences extending far beyond the event that opened up totally new horizons in 1917. To mark the centennial of the Russian Revolution, an international team of both junior and experienced scholars from Austria, Belarus, Brazil, the Czech Republic, France, Israel, Poland, Russia and Slovakia brought together contributions from the surprisingly broad interdisciplinary field of comparative, economic, conceptual, and political history, human geography and urbanism, literature, media studies, and political science. The book explains the Russian revolution in a complex ambiguity between the event and its immediate consequences, medium-term social and economic transformations, and the long-term reconfiguration of the spaces of politics and culture.

The year 2017 saw a multitude of conferences and exhibitions devoted to the centenary of the Russian Revolutions, both in Russia and in other parts of the world. The commemoration of this event would be incomplete without an exploration of its Northern dimension; in October 2017, UiT The Arctic University of Norway hosted the conference The Russian Revolutions of 1917: The Northern Impact and Beyond. Norway and Russia are both northern states, and the two countries have a common border in the High North. Some articles in this volume, based on the conference proceedings, investigate the impact of the Russian Revolution in Norway and Sweden, while others deal with the High North, e.g. the Revolution and Civil War in Northern Russia and the radicalization of the workers’ movement of Northern Norway; some are also devoted to representations of the Russian Revolution at exhibitions and on the big screen.

RUSSIA SINCE 1917 Frederick L. Schuman WOODROW WILSON PROFESSOR OF GOVERNMENT, WILLIAMS COLLEGE RUSSIA SINCE 1917 Four Decades of Soviet Politics MAPS BY GEORGE D. BRODSKY NEW YORK ALFRED A KNOPF 19 57 To the memory of my parents AUGUST SCHUA1AN September 13, 1871-April 21, 1917 from whom I learned much about Marxism AND ELLA SCHULZK SCHUMAN December 4, 1878-July 9, 1956 - from whom I learned more about the human condition v Preface WHEN GEN. NATHAN F. TWINING, Chief of Staff of the USAF, returned from the Soviet Union on July 4, 1956, he was quoted as saying Nobody is an expert on Russia. There are just varying degrees of ignorance. A similar com ment was made by British journalist Paul Winterton during World War II, when the course and outcome of the savage combat across the steppes confounded most Western experts. If wisdom regarding Russia were proportionate to the stagger ing number of books, monographs, and articles on Soviet affairs pub lished since 1917 in English, French, and German, all literate citizens and statesmen throughout the Atlantic communities would be wise indeed. All seekers after truth are deeply indebted to these many laborers in the vineyards of Russian studies. Without their toil no such task as is here attempted could be contemplated. Yet darkness and fear have not been dispelled by these millions of printed pages. Few are available to the peoples of the USSR. Even the Lenin State Library in Moscow, claiming to house the largest collection of books in the world, contains almost no works in any language by writers who are hostile toward, or critical of, or objective about, the Soviet way of life. The gigantic output of the Soviet publishing business, cateringto a domestic market which is insatiable, is far more readily available to Western scholars, particu larly to readers of Russian with much accessible in translation for those to whom the Cyrillic alphabet, the Slavic root-words, and the two aspects of the verb are impenetrable mysteries. This literature, however, answers only a few of the questions about Russia in which Western peoples are most interested. When reality is projected through the lenses of dogma, truth is seen only through a glass darkly. Many Western efforts to explain Russia display similar viii Preface distortions, with more heat than light generated in the processes of refraction and reflection. The sheer volume of publications about Russia obliges anyone who adds to the mass to try, as best he can, to justify his conduct. What new truths are here revealed What claims, if any, to exper tise can the perpetrator of these pages plausibly put forward Such queries are better answered by readers and by critics than by au thors. One mans view of the problem may yet be worth setting down. From time to time, it seems to me, some semblance of insight into the Marxist Muscovy of the 20th Century can best be attained by trying to see beyond specialized studies of particular aspects of Soviet experience and to transcend the polemics of Marxism, Lenin ism, and Stalinism and of anti-Marxism, anti-Leninism, and anti-Stalinism. The rarefied atmosphere at the summit of an intellectual Mount Kazbek may, to be sure, induce dizziness rather than clarity of vision. But if the searcher in Sovietland will keep his eyes on people as well as on programs, on the imposing spatial dimensions of his subject along with the color of localities, andon the equally imposing temporal dimensions of a society which has endured through many vicissitudes for more than a thousand years, ho may be able to arrive at a synoptic view, at a new synthesis, and at an illuminating reinterpretation of this incomparably dramatic and dynamic chapter of the human adventure. Such, at any rate, is the purpose of this book, as it was of rny earlier book, Soviet Politics at Home and Abroad, published by Alfred A. Knopf in 1946 and by Iwanami Shoten of Tokyo in a Japa nese translation in 1956...

Many politicians and journalists in the West seem to believe that most Russians have always at heart been nationalists in the search of demagogues to lead them. But are they? For most of their history, until recently, Russians have had an identity based less upon nationhood than upon a peasant culture and a rural version of Orthodox Christianity. Even their rulers have seldom been all-out nationalists. The tsars never forgot that they governed not a nation but a vast land-mass empire; and just as they aimed to foster loyalty to the imperial regime, so communist leaders -- including even Stalin, who was the most Russifying of them -- wished to engender an allegiance to the USSR and Marxism-Leninism. The result is that Russians, as they emerge from communist rule, are engaged in a process of self-discovery. They argue about what forms of politics and economy that will be best for them. But more than that, they ask the question: what is Russia?
