The Emperor of Russia sends a gift to Maynooth (2009)

The Emperor of Russia sends a gift to Maynooth (2009)

Woods, Penny

Abstract:

Late in August 1864, the President of Maynooth College, Dr Charles Russell, returned at the end of the vacation to find four books waiting for him, sent by Alexander II, Emperor of Russia. These splendid volumes, printed in 1862, reproduced a substantial part of one of the most important books in the world, the Codex Sinaiticus or ‘the Sinai book’, one of the two earliest manuscripts of the Bible, including the earliest complete New Testament in existence. The original 1600-year old hand-written text, written in Greek on parchment or animal skin, had lain in the Monastery of St Catherine at Mount Sinai until 1844 when, as the leading German Biblical scholar Konstantin von Tischendorf writes, he found a few leaves of it in a basket there. He later persuaded the monks to present a substantial part of the Codex to the Emperor of Russia who in turn had it published in St Petersburg in 1862, at his own expense and in facsimile – with the text as it appeared in the original.

The foreign policy behaviour of Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan (2017)

The foreign policy behaviour of Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan (2017)

Loda, Chiara

Abstract:

This thesis considers the South Caucasian Countries as small states but also as states with agency in foreign policy who seek to mitigate the asymmetry between themselves, the West and Russia. This thesis argues that these states can resort to strategic narratives, as proposed in their official state foreign policy discourses, in order to influence their self-projection vis-à-vis these greater external players. This dissertation is based around the assessment of two case studies of foreign policy activity per country, one chosen from the domain of (relatively) traditional or “hard” foreign policy concerns around security and trade and a second from the so-called softer range of foreign policy activity. In the case of Armenia, the focus is on the withdrawal from the European Union Association Agreement talks and on the strategic use of the Armenian diaspora. In the case of Azerbaijan, the study focuses on the state’s energy strategy and on its public diplomacy strategy. In the case o...

The Obshchina in Chutotka: land, property and local autonomy. (2001)

Abstract:

Chukotka, located in Russia’s far northeast, is one of several territories of the Russian North where reindeer herding is the main occupation of indigenous residents. In the Soviet period, reindeer herding was collectivized and centrally managed within sovkhozy (state farms). With the collapse of the Soviet Union came the application of Russia’s privatization program to these sovkhozy, and many small privatized reindeer herding enterprises were created. However, these enterprises were unable to survive independently, and their failure triggered a collapse of reindeer herding in Chukotka, which had dire consequences for the rural residents that depended on it for their living. One of the solutions proposed by indigenous advocates in the 1990s was to give rural residents more local control by allowing them to form obshchiny, or “ancestral communities,” a special category of land tenure defined in Russian federal law. Although obshchiny had been established by indigenous groups in othe...

Through Snow and Red Fog: South Slav Soldiers in Revolutionary Russia and Beyond (2010)

Through Snow and Red Fog: South Slav Soldiers in Revolutionary Russia and Beyond (2010)

Newman, John Paul

Abstract:

The article is concerned with the way in which memories and experiences of the First World War were narrated and presented in interwar eastern and central Europe with special reference to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (Yugoslavia). The intention is to investigate the significance of the fact that, in Yugoslavia and throughout interwar Eastern Europe, so many citizens, subjects had served on opposing sides during the war. For example, in the enlarged state of Romania after 1918, Transylvanian Hungarians and Germans had fought for the Central Powers, whilst Romanians had fought for the Allies. In Czechoslovakia, Czechs had supposedly been reluctant soldiers in the Austro-Hungarian Army but enthusiastic volunteers for the Czech Legion in Russia, whereas Sudeten Germans had been more loyal to the Habsburg war effort. Poles also, living together in the new state of Poland, had fought against each other in the armies of the Allies and the Central Powers.

Volga Farmers and Arctic Herders: Common (post)Socialist experiences in rural Russia (2003)

Volga Farmers and Arctic Herders: Common (post)Socialist experiences in rural Russia (2003)

Gray, Patty A.

Abstract:

When discussing privatisation and farm reorganisation in rural Russia, a divide tends to be drawn between the temperate agricultural zones of southern and European Russia versus the tundra and taiga zones of Siberia (in the centre of the Russian Federation) and the Far North (at the eastern end of the Russian Federation). The former is often taken to represent “Russia” in its essence, while the latter tends to be exoticised as something distant and more akin to the rest of the circumpolar Arctic than to Russia.
