Following the october revolution, the Soviet Union regained majority control over the strategically located Chinese Eastern Railway, which ran through Manchuria, by signing two previously unpublished secret agreements: the first with the Beijing government on May 31, 1924, and the second with Zhang Zuolin's government in Manchuria on September 20, 1924. These secret agreements were signed despite the Soviet government's repeated promise that it would never resort to secret diplomacy. The Soviet Union also renewed control over the Russian-built Chinese Eastern Railway despite a 1919 Soviet manifesto promising that this railway would be turned over to China without compensation. To consolidate Soviet power over this railway, the USSR then signed the January 20, 1925, convention with Japan that recognized Japan's authority over the South Manchurian Railway in return for Japan's acquiescence to full Soviet authority over the Chinese Eastern Railway.

The Prague-born philosopher and historian of science Arnošt Kolman (1892–1979)—who often published under his Russian name Ernest Kol’man—has fallen into obscurity, much like dialectical materialism, the philosophy of science he represented. From modest Czech-Jewish origins, Kolman seized opportunities posed by the advent of the Bolshevik Revolution to advance to the highest levels of polemical Stalinist philosophy, returned to Prague as an activist laying the groundwork for the Communist coup in Czechoslovakia in February 1948, was arrested and held for three years by the Soviet secret police, returned to work in Moscow and Prague as a historian of science, played vastly contrasting roles in the Luzin Affair of the 1930s and the rehabilitation of cybernetics in the 1950s, and defected—after 58 years in the Communist Party of the Soviet Union—to Sweden in 1976. This article argues that Kolman’s biography represents his gradual separation of dialectical materialism from other aspects of Soviet authority, a disentanglement enabled by the perspective gained from repeated returns to Prague and the diversity of dialectical-materialist thought developed in the Eastern Bloc. This essay is part of a special issue entitled THE BONDS OF HISTORY edited by Anita Guerrini.

Karaganda Region

This chapter first sets out the book's purpose, namely to explore the role played by the Gulag in the Soviet polity. It provides a close study of the camps and exiles in the Karaganda region of Kazakhstan along with a general reconsideration of the scope, meaning, and function of the Gulag in Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union. Focusing on Karaganda offers a number of benefits to an examination of the history of the Gulag. First, a concentrated look at a single locality allows for a study of the massive phenomenon of the Gulag without giving up the chronological breadth that is important to understanding shifts in its operations through the period (approximately 1930–57) when it was at its height. Second, exploring the Gulag at the local level reveals the operation of the system at the very point of contact between Soviet authority and its detained subjects. The chapter then describes the sources upon which the book is based, followed by an overview of the subsequent chapters.

Soviet Historiography

The history of social insurance of workers found reflection in literature practically from the first days of existence of the USSR. The question of a detailed periodization of the Soviet historiography of pre-revolutionary social insurance of workers is addressed in the paper. The author focused on the period which is the most difficult for studying: from October Rprior up to the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, when work on this problem practically stopped.The analysis of literature and activity of the scientific and historical institutions which were engaged in studying of the problem allowed defining the chronological framework of the considered period. As a result of research the author allocates three stages, though defining their chronological frameworks was hindered by such factors as struggle in the higher levels of the authorities, number of researches and their political orientation, and also a limited circle of the sources introduced into scientific circulation.

An analysis of a number of articles in imperial and early Soviet newspapers and journals, including “Jaridat Dagistan”, shows that the theological discussion that existed in Dagestan in manuscript tradition for more than three hundred years migrated to some extent to new press. This applies to some issues of the theory of Islamic law (the problem of taqlid and ijtihad), as well as some practical legal issues in the field of worship (‘ibada) and in the sphere of social relations (mu’amala).In the late 1960’s in Tashkent, the journal “Muslims of the Soviet Orient” was founded, many issues of which were sent to Dagestan in Uzbek (in Arabic script) and in Arabic; various issues of this journal are currently being found in a number of private collections in Dagestan. In many articles the influence of the already established Soviet Oriental scholarly tradition is noticeable. Articles devoted to the theory and practice of Islamic law, to various issues of Muslim theology, are practically absent. An analysis of the articles of this journal and the “Jaridat Dagistan” shows that if the latter was formed and edited exclusively by Dagestani theologians and served as a platform for discussing theological issues, the journal “Muslims of the Soviet Orient” was a Soviet attempt to represent Muslims and showed how they were seen or wanted to be seen by Soviet authority.
