  • Rethinking the Russian Revolution as Historical Divide

    Edited by Matthias Neumann, Andy Willimott ...
    Series series BASEES/Routledge Series on Russian and East European Studies
    The Russian Revolution of 1917 has often been presented as a complete break with the past, with everything which had gone before swept away, and all aspects of politics, economy, and society reformed and made new. Recently, however, historians have increasingly come to question this view, discovering that Tsarist Russia was much more entangled in the processes of modernisation, and that the new ... Read more

  • An Analysis of Christopher R. Browning's Ordinary Men

    Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland

    by Tom Stammers, James Chappel ...
    Series series The Macat Library
    Of all the controversies facing historians today, few are more divisive or more important than the question of how the Holocaust was possible. What led thousands of Germans – many of them middle-aged reservists with, apparently, little Nazi zeal – to willingly commit acts of genocide? Was it ideology? Was there something rotten in the German soul? Or was it – as Christopher Browning argues in this ... Read more

  • Ukraine and Russia

    Representations of the Past

    by Serhii Plokhy ...
    The question of where Russian history ends and Ukrainian history begins has not yet received a satisfactory answer.

    by Paul Le Blanc ...
    Series Book 58 - Critical Lives
    There are few more divisive names in modern history than that of the diehard revolutionary Leon Trotsky. To some he was a hypocritical totalitarian, while to many others he was a revolutionary liberator, an idealist determined to crush an outdated, oppressive dynasty in order to replace it with a proletarian socialist commonwealth. But one thing is agreed: his impact as a leader in the Russian ... Read more
