Heralds of Revolution: Russian Students and the Mythologies of Radicalism

Forsideomslag
Oxford University Press, 5. feb. 1998 - 304 sider
Reading Russian revolutionary culture through its stories, author Susan Morrissey examines how the quest for consciousness evolved into a master-plot of student radicalism. Based on interdisciplinary sources and extensive research in Russian archives, this study throws new light on the dynamics of political and cultural change in late Imperial Russia and poses provocative questions about both the pre-revolutionary antecedents and the founding myths of the Soviet Union. This work will appeal to historians of Russia and the Soviet Union, as well as specialists in Slavic culture and literature.

Side 3 - Ich verlor mich in tiefes Nachdenken und war nach dieser Entdeckung ruhiger und unruhiger als vorher. Nachdem ich etwas erfahren hatte, kam es mir erst vor, als ob ich gar nichts wisse, und ich hatte recht : denn es fehlte mir der Zusammenhang, und darauf kommt doch eigentlich alles an.
