“This is one of the most important pieces of scholarship on early modern Russian history to have been produced in the past decade. Ernest A. Zitser’s book will change the way people think about the reign of Peter the Great and will amend the persistent but incorrect view that Peter ‘secularized’ Russia and that his personal relationships were based on simple ‘meritocracy.’”—Lindsey Hughes, School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University College London

Kurakin (1676-1727), the Imperial Russian diplomat who served as extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador to France (1724-1727), this article seeks to contribute to the ongoing discussion about the possible reasons for the adoption of French as the language of international communication in general and eighteenth-century diplomacy in particular. It asks when the Moscow-born Gediminid prince learned to speak French and how this non-native speaker of the language became proficient enough to impress a finicky and fastidious interlocutor like Louis de Rouvroy, duc de Saint-Simon (1675-1755). The author suggests that the answer to these questions lies not in Russia or France, but in Poland and Italy; and not in the halls of formal educational institutions, but in the networks of personal connections that were sustained as much by face-to-face communication as by written correspondence. This brief biographical survey of the development of Prince Kurakin's "linguistic personality" demonstrates the mediating role of modern, vernacular languages (Russian, Polish, Italian) in the transition from Latin to French as the lingua franca of international diplomacy. It also emphasizes the intimate connection between foreign language acquisition and diplomatic self-fashioning, showing how linguistic knowledge could be instrumentalized for both personal and professional advancement. In doing so, it illustrates the active role that individual brokers-especially, but not exclusively, aristocratic royal servitors with broad linguistic skills and extensive international connections, like Prince Kurakin and the duc de Saint-Simon-played in creating the very notion of an early modern "European" style of diplomacy based on the cultural dominance of the French language.

The article examines the royal suite’s participation in four different religious ceremonies to determine the sacred prototype(s) invoked by their organizers. The author demonstrates the important role that the motif of the Transfiguration on Mt. Tabor played in the ceremonies improvised by the tsar and argues that this hierotopic scenario was part of an ongoing effort to use sacred parody to demonstrate the charismatic nature of royal authority.

Thanks to the initiative of nonprofit cultural heritage institutions, commercial enterprises, and joint publicprivate partnerships, researchers now have a plethora of electronic resources at their disposal. Unfortunately, only a portion of this data is freely available online, and what is available is generally scattered all over the internet. While guides to contemporary (currently active) news media outlets and newspapers abound, historical news sources are more difficult to locate. This article describes the authors' efforts to compile and publish an online guide to open access historical news sources from Slavic, East European, and Eurasian countries. It outlines the selection criteria, describes the guide's layout, and provides a survey of preliminary usage statistics.

Using the surviving charter of the proposed fraternal order as a point of departure, this article reconstructs the context and the meaning of Liria’s initiative. While drinking has traditionally been associated with Russia and in particular with the mores of Peter I’s court, this microstudy helps us to see it as a part of European sociable and diplomatic practices of the era. This episode sheds light not only on the broader evolution of fraternal societies in the early eighteenth century,but also on the mechanisms that drove the spread of such forms of associational life across the continent.

The author presents new evidence about the provenance of the “General Political Poster Series,” substantiates Lemkin’s personal role in its description, and juxtaposes the hand-written, English-language translations with the posters’ original, Russian-language titles, thereby shedding light on the émigré scholar’s view of communist Russia. The annotated Soviet posters, which are reproduced in this article, have been digitized and can be viewed online at the Duke Digital Repository. DOI: 10.1080/15228886.2018.1538863

The article examines the royal suite’s participation in four different religious ceremonies to determine the sacred prototype(s) invoked by their organizers. The author demonstrates the important role that the motif of the Transfiguration on Mt. Tabor played in the ceremonies improvised by the tsar and argues that this hierotopic scenario was part of an ongoing effort to use sacred parody to demonstrate the charismatic nature of royal authority.

Thanks to the initiative of nonprofit cultural heritage institutions, commercial enterprises, and joint publicprivate partnerships, researchers now have a plethora of electronic resources at their disposal. Unfortunately, only a portion of this data is freely available online, and what is available is generally scattered all over the internet. While guides to contemporary (currently active) news media outlets and newspapers abound, historical news sources are more difficult to locate. This article describes the authors' efforts to compile and publish an online guide to open access historical news sources from Slavic, East European, and Eurasian countries. It outlines the selection criteria, describes the guide's layout, and provides a survey of preliminary usage statistics.

Using the surviving charter of the proposed fraternal order as a point of departure, this article reconstructs the context and the meaning of Liria’s initiative. While drinking has traditionally been associated with Russia and in particular with the mores of Peter I’s court, this microstudy helps us to see it as a part of European sociable and diplomatic practices of the era. This episode sheds light not only on the broader evolution of fraternal societies in the early eighteenth century,but also on the mechanisms that drove the spread of such forms of associational life across the continent.

The author presents new evidence about the provenance of the “General Political Poster Series,” substantiates Lemkin’s personal role in its description, and juxtaposes the hand-written, English-language translations with the posters’ original, Russian-language titles, thereby shedding light on the émigré scholar’s view of communist Russia. The annotated Soviet posters, which are reproduced in this article, have been digitized and can be viewed online at the Duke Digital Repository. DOI: 10.1080/15228886.2018.1538863

Возрождение интереса к одной из традиционных тем русской истории -- изучению Петра Великого и всей петровской тематики (петроведение), стало одним из неожиданных историографических последствий распада Советского Союза как государства и цивилизации. В настоящей статье рассматриваются несколько выдающихся примеров исследований (как русский, так и англо-американских) рубежа XXI века и оценивается состояние вопроса (до 2005 года). Автор констатирует создание нового "постсоветского" и, возможно, даже "постмодернистского" образа Петра.

After situating Golburt’s book within the context of recent publications on eighteenth-century Russian studies, the reviewer offers a summary of the pros and cons of the author’s methodological approach. The reviewer argues that _The First Epoch_ constitutes a landmark contribution to both the ongoing reevaluation of early modern Russian history and to the scholarly study of the confluence between literary and mnemonic praxis.

Живова – это масштабное предприятие, которое, несомненно, потребует совместных усилий библиотекарей и ученых, представляющих множество различных стран и академических дисциплин. Библиография, помещаемая ниже, призвана лишь представить некоторые дополнения и исправления к “Списку научных трудов Виктора Марковича Живова,” опубликованному в Веренице литер и довести этот список с 2006 года до настоящего времени. Включение дополнительных публикаций — как перепечаток и переводов, так и оригинальных научных работ — будет полезно для будущих исследователей, особенно интересующихся направлением развития идей Живова, их влиянием и каналами их распространения. По той же причине, настоящая библиография также включает ссылки на интервью и публичные лекции Живова и его выступления на радио и телевидении, в том числе те, которые в настоящее время доступны только в Интернете. Хотя включение таких работ, как правило, размывает традиционные границы между академическими и научно-популярными публикациями, оно иллюстрирует характер современного информационного ландшафта и позволяет документировать деятельность Живова как публичного интеллектуала. Библиография, не учитывающая эти аспекты, не может претендовать на полное и достоверное отражение трудов и дней Виктора Марковича Живова.

“genocide,” in providing the metadata for 30 of the 78 Soviet
propaganda posters currently held by Duke University Library.
The author presents new evidence about the provenance of
the “General Political Poster Series,” substantiates Lemkin’s
personal role in its description, and juxtaposes the hand-written,
English-language translations with the posters’ original,
Russian-language titles, thereby shedding light on the émigré
scholar’s view of communist Russia. The annotated Soviet
posters, which are reproduced in this article, have been digitized

“This is one of the most important pieces of scholarship on early modern Russian history to have been produced in the past decade. Ernest A. Zitser’s book will change the way people think about the reign of Peter the Great and will amend the persistent but incorrect view that Peter ‘secularized’ Russia and that his personal relationships were based on simple ‘meritocracy.’”—Lindsey Hughes, School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University College London

(1900–1959), the Polish-Jewish jurist who coined the term
“genocide,” in providing the metadata for 30 of the 78 Soviet
propaganda posters currently held by Duke University Library.
The author presents new evidence about the provenance of
the “General Political Poster Series,” substantiates Lemkin’s
personal role in its description, and juxtaposes the hand-written,
English-language translations with the posters’ original,
Russian-language titles, thereby shedding light on the émigré
scholar’s view of communist Russia. The annotated Soviet
posters, which are reproduced in this article, have been digitized
and can be viewed online at the Duke Digital Repository.

Возрождение интереса к одной из традиционных тем русской истории -- изучению Петра Великого и всей петровской тематики (петроведение), стало одним из неожиданных историографических последствий распада Советского Союза как государства и цивилизации. В настоящей статье рассматриваются несколько выдающихся примеров исследований (как русский, так и англо-американских) рубежа XXI века и оценивается состояние вопроса (до 2005 года). Автор констатирует создание нового "постсоветского" и, возможно, даже "постмодернистского" образа Петра.

Составление полной библиографии научных работ В.М. Живова – это масштабное предприятие, которое, несомненно, потребует совместных усилий библиотекарей и ученых, представляющих множество различных стран и академических дисциплин. Библиография, помещаемая ниже, призвана лишь представить некоторые дополнения и исправления к “Списку научных трудов Виктора Марковича Живова,” опубликованному в Веренице литер и довести этот список с 2006 года до настоящего времени. Включение дополнительных публикаций — как перепечаток и переводов, так и оригинальных научных работ — будет полезно для будущих исследователей, особенно интересующихся направлением развития идей Живова, их влиянием и каналами их распространения. По той же причине, настоящая библиография также включает ссылки на интервью и публичные лекции Живова и его выступления на радио и телевидении, в том числе те, которые в настоящее время доступны только в Интернете. Хотя включение таких работ, как правило, размывает традиционные границы между академическими и научно-популярными публикациями, оно иллюстрирует характер современного информационного ландшафта и позволяет документировать деятельность Живова как публичного интеллектуала. Библиография, не учитывающая эти аспекты, не может претендовать на полное и достоверное отражение трудов и дней Виктора Марковича Живова.
