War and Enlightenment in Russia explores how members of the military during the reign of Catherine II reconciled Enlightenment ideas about the equality and moral worth of all humans with the Russian reality based on serfdom, a world governed by autocracy, absolute respect for authority, and subordination to seniority. While there is a sizable literature about the impact of the Enlightenment on government, economy, manners, and literature in Russia, no analytical framework that outlines its impact on the military exists. Eugene Miakinkov's research addresses this gap and challenges the assumption that the military was an unadaptable and vertical institution. Using archival sources, military manuals, essays, memoirs, and letters, the author demonstrates how the Russian militaires philosophes operationalized the Enlightenment by turning thought into reality.

Generally when historians consider englightened despotism in Russia they turn to the reign of Catherine the Great. The twenty-year reign of her predecessor, Elisabeth Petrovna, is ignored as some sort of «dark age». With the passage of time, scholars have found that elements of enlightened despotism were well developed before Catherine. Internal tariffs were abolished in 1753, law codes were written but not enacted, Moscow University was opened in 1755, the death penality was unofficially abolished, the Academy of Fine Arts was founded and efforts were made to spread education. Indeed, there were unenlightened aspects of the period, such as the treatment of Jews and Old Believers. But if the Seven Years' War had not interrupted the process, there is little doubt that the reign of Elisabeth would be the one historians would first consider when studying Russian enlightened despotism.

No, you will not be forgot, century crazy and wise, 0Cursed forever and yet, ever the wonder of all, 0Blood your nativity fouled, thunder of war at your wake, 0Bloody descend to the grave… 0But look, rising upwards two cliffs, ascending amidst bloody streams: 0Peter and Catherine, yes! Eternity’s children, and Russia’s! 0Darkness is all in the past, sunshine predicts happy days, Shining the way with the light mirrored off their rocky bluffs. 00These lines, taken from Aleksandr Radishchev’s poem, “The Eighteenth Century” (1801-2), depicted that age as “a century mad and wise,” a time of Enlightenment and bloodshed, creation and destruction, progress and retrogress. Its very form, an attempt to reproduce the classical elegiac distich, suggested both Romantic innovation and Classical authenticity. 00These lines also furnish the title of this volume on Russia in the Age of the Enlightenment, Papers from the IX International Conference of the Study Group on Eighteenth-Century Russia, which was held in July 2014 at the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium. Scholars from Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States gathered to present their findings which cover a spectrum of issues that span the age of Peter, Catherine and Alexander. These include studies of literature; opera; folk prints; gastronomy; trade and economics; sociology; jurisprudence; diplomacy; travel and exploration; religious, imperial and Masonic discourse; painting and art collecting; and popular entertainments. As Radishchev’s poem suggested, they describe an age of both wonders and contrasts, ingenuity and mysticism, initiations and failures.

Part diary, part journalistic dispatches this volume, originally published in 1918 is a short history of the Caucasus campaign and connects the events that were taking place in the Middle East with the past history of Central Asia. Witnessing the effects of the Russian Revolution on the Asiatic provinces, the author reveals the real state of Asiatic Russia, in the months preceding the Russian Revolution and shows how the Russian reaction was in part responsible for the disastrous state of affairs in Armenia and was contributing with the Turkish Government to bring that country to the verge of ruin.

With clear and eloquent prose, the book explains the ideas of the Enlightenment and their effect on the social fabric of Europe, the watershed of the French Revolution, the rise and fall of Napoleon, the advances of the Industrial Revolution, and the centrifugal forces of nationalism that led, ultimately, to the disaster of World War I. Eminently readable, Europe 1715-1919 will appeal to students, scholars, and all interested in the history of modern Europe.

Fyodor Sergeyevich Olferieff (1885&–1971) led a remarkable life in the shadows of history. This book presents his memoirs for the first time, translated and annotated by his granddaughter Tanya A. Cameron. Born into a noble family, Olferieff was a Russian career military officer who observed firsthand key events of the early twentieth century, including the 1905&–7 revolution, the Great War, the collapse of the imperial state, and the civil wars in Ukraine and Crimea. Olferieff wrestles with moral and political questions, wondering whether his own advantages could be justified—and whether, if born a peasant, he might have thrown himself into the revolution. As Gary Hamburg writes in an illuminating companion essay, Olferieff wrote "to understand himself and to record his broken life for posterity" as a privileged observer of a bloody, historically pivotal era.
