THE AGRARIAN MOVEMENT IN THE VOLGA REGION DURING THE REVOLUTION OF 1905–1907 IN THE ASSESSMENTS BY LOCAL ADMINISTRATION MANAGERS

In the era of the Mexican Revolution, research opportunities on the sub-national level are numerous and varied, although not completely untested. In recent monographs and dissertations, historians have examined the revolution in a few states, leading regional figures, the workings of national reform commissions in selected localities and hinted at the conflict of provincial interests that provoked violence in the name of opposition to national programs. Each of these themes needs further, more systematic evaluation. Still wanting are studies of local demographic changes and concomitant political and economic adjustments accompanying the revolution, of the appropriation of state and local administration, and of the local issues that confused reform programs such as land reapportionment and educational missions. Professor James W. Wilkie has made important national studies of efforts to implement revolutionary programs and to evaluate statistically the church-state question. Both of these themes should be assayed through case studies of states or somewhat larger regions. But rather than cataloging research possibilities, this paper concentrates on one sub-national topic: the state governors.

The Revolution

On 18 December 1993 The Independent reported that two brothers had been convicted of manslaughter in Saratov, in the Volga region, in the first jury trial to be held in Russia since the Revolution. Japan is poised, should it so wish, to reinstate jury trial, an institution it abandoned with little regret in 1942; Argentina is considering the introduction of juries; it is possible that in conformity with article 125 of its constitution, Spain, too, may yet bring forward proposals for a form of trial by jury. Such developments prompt the thought that, although a growing number of non-common law jurisdictions around the world are espousing jury trial (or, at least, giving serious thought to the possibility), and although several European civilian jurisdictions already operate forms of trial by jury, there is a lack of reliable information about the place the jury occupies in the public's and the legal profession's mind in non-common law jurisdictions.

The Revolution

National stereotypes have an understandable attraction, but are often a snare and a delusion. There has been no lack of commentators, in recent years, to remind the French that their structures of local administration were laid down at the Revolution, and have been little changed since. Fragmented into nearly 38,000 urban and rural communes, which vary enormously in population and wealth, the country has more local authorities than the other five states of the EEC and Britain put together. Most people, on both sides of the Channel, accept the idea of reform, but we find something of a contrast when we look at what has happened in practice. President Pompidou said at Lyon on 31 October 1970:

The Revolution

On the basis of available sources and literature, the confessional situation among one of the non–Russian peoples of the Middle Volga region, the Chuvash, is investigated. If in the XVIII – early XIX century while carrying out conversion of the non-Slavs (that was the name for non-Russian peoples before the revolution) to the Orthodox the Senate and the Synod gave privileges to the newly baptized and resorted to harsh punitive measures against those who refused, then from the middle of the XIX century the ways of dealing with the unbaptized and those who have fallen into Islam are changing dramatically. Missionaries are gradually coming to the opinion that it is necessary to speak with the non-Slavs in their language, to train priests and teachers from their environment, and also to take into account their traditional holidays and rituals. For example, the priests equally named Turӑ both the Chuvash deity and the Orthodox supreme God. This trend continues to this day. In order to reflect the peculiarities of the Orthodox enlightenment of the Chuvash and to protect them from Islam, the author of the article uses the phrase “indigenization/”alienation” of Orthodoxy.” The creator and the engine of this whole system in Kazan, Simbirsk, Samara, Vyatka, Ufa and Orenburg governorates was N.I. Ilminsky. As a result, the Chuvash began to accept Orthodoxy consciously.
