Many Bolsheviks heralded the October Revolution of 1917 as the beginning of a new era in history; by 1921, however, much of this optimism had disappeared. Civil war, peasant rebellion, empty factories, closed schools, strikes in the industrial establishments that had survived, and the Kronstadt Revolt made many party members weary and cynical. A few, however, stubbornly adhered to an untarnished vision of a grand future. They could be found especially among those officials responsible for primary and secondary schools at the Commissariat of Enlightenment (Narkompros). Anatolii V. Lunacharskii, commissar of enlightenment from 1917 to 1929; Nadezhda K. Krupskaia, his chief assistant for school policy; and their colleagues still believed that they possessed the means to reshape not only the schools but also human behavior and society. While the party engineered a calculated retreat with the New Economic Policy (NEP) and the state slashed the educational budget, Narkompros remained determined to challenge the present and storm the future. It did so by launching a program of sweeping changes in the content and methods of school instruction. With a faith it hoped was infectious, Narkompros assumed that teachers would follow its lead. It would not be so simple.

Urban Local Government

During the first months after the October Revolution, Russian workers, soldiers, and sailors who had supported the overthrow of the Provisional Government in the name of soviet power—power to ordinary citizens exercised through democratically operated Soviets—participated in revolutionary politics most actively and directly through city and district Soviets. The lowest rungs on the ladder of democratic councils established throughout much of urban Russia after the fall of the tsar, these Soviets became the new regime's primary institutions of urban local government. Their early history reveals much about the extent to which the revolutionary ideal of popular grass-roots democracy was attempted and realized at that time, as well as about the first stages of the process by which that ideal was undermined and Bolshevik party-controlled authoritarianism became irreversibly entrenched. This history can be illustrated by close examination of the evolution of one Petrograd district soviet—that of the First City District— between November 1917 and the full explosion of the civil war crisis in June 1918.

Os filmes soviéticos ambientados durante a Revolução de Outubro e a Guerra Civil, ao longo de sete décadas, passaram por inúmeras transformações: de gênero predominante, de escola artística, das representações feitas sobre a Revolução e o conflito armado que se seguiu. Essas alterações devem ser primordialmente encontradas no próprio desenvolvimento da URSS: político, social e econômico. Apesar da influência de correntes artísticas externas e do trabalho interno de cineastas, o sistema soviético se mostrou mais sensível a essas forças.

The paper explores historical and social circumstances of the foundation of the Institute of Law of Sevastopol in 1919–1920, the focus being on the importance of various triggering political events, the October Revolution and the Russian Civil War (1917–1922), among others, which have influenced the birth and life of this educational institution. Further emphasis is laid on the fundamentals and significance of Russian legal education, its place in social life and emerging intellectual circles of a specific historical period. The article probes the historical and biographical contexts of the lives and fates of such seminal members of staff of the Sevastopol Law Institute as Gogel S.K. and Pashe-Ozerski N.N. At that, the biographical approach provides deep insight into how historical events like the October Revolution, the Russian Civil War, repression and emigration are interrelated and what impact they had had on society as a whole and individuals in particular. The article then goes on to explore the role and function of certain departments affiliated with the Sevastopol Law Institute, as well as its faculties and the board of trustees. It also concerns the purpose of a peasant law course specially designated as part of the Institute`s curriculum and its effects on a land reform implemented to grant the maximum possible freedom of land administration and zemstvo activities. Accomplished by General Wrangel P. N. in 1920, the reform could certainly become a landmark agricultural initiative for the future of Russia and fundamentally revitalize the social and political system.

Abstract Through several examples of the representation of Russian art in the milieu of interwar Czechoslovakia, the article shows the specificity of the local Russian cultural community which was exiled there following the October Revolution and the ensuing civil war. It examines the community’s international contacts and the role its strong institutional background played in establishing several art collections—most importantly at the Slavonic Institute and the Russian Cultural-Historical Museum in Prague—as it attempted to capture and preserve for the future the art production of Russian artists abroad. It also looks at a remarkable artistic strategy used by The Scythians artist group, which was based on an alleged otherness and even exoticism of the Russian artists residing in Prague and drew on the ideology of Eurasianism promoted in the Russian exiled community of the period.
