The present volume places Imperial and Soviet Russia in a European context. Russia shared in a larger European modernity marked by increased overlap and sometimes merger of realms that had previously been treated as discrete entities: the social and the political, state and society, government and economy, and private and public. These were attributes of Soviet dictatorship, but their origins can be located in a larger European context and in the emergence of modern forms of government in Imperial Russia/ Το βιβλίο αναλύει όλους τους παράγοντες που οδήγησαν στον εκσυγχρονισμό της ρωσικής κοινωνίας κατά το 19ο αιώνα.

Το εθνικό ζήτημα και πως επιβάλλεις τον έλεγχο σε ετερόκλιτες εθνικές ταυτότητες υπήρξε πάντα πρόβλημα του ρωσικού κράτους. Αυτή η μελέτη για τη Ρωσία ως πολυεθνική αυτοκρατορία εκτίνεται από τα αυτοκρατορικά χρόνια, το 16ο αιώνα, έως και το 1917, με μεγαλύτερη έμφαση στην σοβιετική περίοδο. Ένα από τα βασικά ερωτήματα του βιβλίου είναι πως οι Ρώσοι ενσωμάτωσαν νέες περιοχές, τι αντιστάσεις συνάντησαν, ποιός ήταν ο χαρακτήρας της αυτοκρατορίας και πως αυτό συνδέθηκε με τον εθνικισμό./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.

Ο παρών τόμος είναι μια περιγραφή της ζωντανής και πολυπολιτισμικής πόλης της Οδησσού, του κύριου λιμανιού της Μαύρης θάλασσας, της κοσμοπολίτικης πόλης των εφευρετών και των ιδιοφυών, της οποίας η εβραϊκή κοινότητα αποτελούσε σημαντικό κομμάτι. Επίσης αναλύει τις διώξεις και την μαζική δολοφονία των Εβραίων από τους Ρουμάνους κατακτητές της πόλης κατά το Δεύτερο Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο./The present volume is a description of the vibrant, multicultural tapestry of the city of Odessa, the greatest port of the Black sea, a cosmopolitan city of innovators and geniuses, in which a thriving Jewish population formed an essential part. It also examines the mass murder of Jews carried out by the city’s Romanian occupiers during the World War II.

This volume is a comprehensive synthesis of Russian social history from Peter the Great to the October Revolution of 1917. The book begins with background information on pre-Petrine Russia and then focuses on the crucial events of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. He demonstrates how social events in this period--including the creation of a modernized autocratic state, the abolition of serfdom, increasing urbanization, and the first stirrings of capitalism (to name a few)--played out in the Revolution, and beyond.

The essays in this volume explore economic growth and change and the social conflicts that accompanied them in the dynamic context of New York city. Other papers suggest how popular culture, public space, and street life served as sources of order amidst conflict and disorder. Essays on politics and pluralism offer further reflections on how social tensions are harnessed in the framework of political participation. By examining the intersection of economics, culture, and politics in a shared spatial context, these multidisciplinary essays not only illuminate the City's fascinating and complex development.
