How Russia Shaped The Modern World : From Art To Anti- Semitism, Ballet To Bolshevism

  • How Russia Shaped The Modern World : From Art To Anti- Semitism, Ballet To Bolshevism
  • Attribution

    Steven G. Marks
  • Publication Details

    Book, Princeton University Press, 2003
  • Description

    In this sweeping history, Steven Marks tells the fascinating story of how Russian figures, ideas, and movements changed our world in dramatic but often unattributed ways. The Russian anarchist movement benignly shaped the rise of vegetarianism and environmentalism while also giving birth to the violent methods of modern terrorist organizations. Tolstoy’s visions of nonviolent resistance inspired Gandhi and the U.S. Civil Rights movement at the same time that Russian anti-Semitic conspiracy theories intoxicated right-wing extremists the world over.

Dostoevsky. The Miraculous Years, 1865-1871

  • Dostoevsky. The Miraculous Years, 1865-1871
  • Attribution

    Joseph Frank
  • Publication Details

    Book, Princeton University Press, 1995
  • Description

    All these masterpieces were written in the midst of harrowing practical and economic circumstances, as Dostoevsky moved from place to place, frequently giving way to his passion for roulette. Two novels of this period were thus an attempt to conjure this looming spectre of moral-social disintegration, while The Idiot offered an image of Dostoevsky’s conception of the Russian Christian ideal that he hoped would take its place.
