We have another special episode for our subscribers, a recording of the pre-concert talk by musicologist Simon Morrison at our concert of the complete piano sonatas of 20th century Russian composer Galina Ustvolskaya, performed by Conor Hanick. Born in Petrograd (now St. Petersburg) in 1919, Galina Ustvolskaya's expressive and vigorous music was deemed problematic in the USSR early in her career and did not receive widespread attention in her home country until the 1960s and 70s, and abroad only in the late 1980s. She taught at the Leningrad Rimsky-Korsakov College of Music from 1947-1977 and over the past three decades her music has experienced an increasing amount of performances and acclaim in the West.Simon Morrison is a Professor of Music at Princeton University specializing in 20th-century Russian and Soviet music. In the recording, you'll hear Morrison discuss Ustvolskaya's life, her relationships with her contemporaries, and her six piano sonatas, composed between 1947 and 1988. After the episode, head over to otherminds.org, where you can watch a video of Conor Hanick's performance of Galina Ustvolskaya's piano sonatas at the Freight & Salvage in Berkeley, California.Music: Excerpts from Piano Sonatas 1–6 by Galina Ustvolskaya, performed by Conor HanickClick here to watch Conor Hanicks's performance of Galina Ustvolskaya's Piano Sonatas 1–6 at Other Minds.simonamorrison.comconorhanick.comFollow us on Instagram and Facebook.otherminds.orgContact us at otherminds@otherminds.org.The Other Minds Podcast is hosted and edited by Joseph Bohigian.

#RUSSIA:  MAXIMALIST DEMANDS. JOHN HARDIE,  BILL ROGGIO, FDD.  1923 PETROGRAD

Der blutige Bürgerkrieg hält die junge Sowjetunion weiterhin fest im Atem. Im Jahr 1921 sind bereits hunderttausende Soldaten und Zivilisten gefallen, ermordet oder an Hunger und Krankheiten gestorben. Die herrschenden Bolschewiki gewinnen jedoch allmählich die Oberhand und überziehen das ganze Land mit einer Terrorwelle. Die Geheimpolizei Tscheka mit ihrem Anführer Felix Dscherschinski (auch: Dserschinski) ist das Gesicht dieser neuen Phase der Gewalt. Diese trifft auch die Arbeiter in Petrograd, dem heutigen Sankt Petersburg. Sie begehren auf und revoltieren! Dabei erhalten sie unerwartete Unterstützung von den Matrosen bei Kronstadt. Einst waren sie die Prätorianer der Revolution, jetzt stellen sie sich gegen Lenin, Trotzki und Co. Es kommt zum großen Showdown und am Ende dieses Kräftemessens zeigt sich, wie erbarmungslos selbst die früheren Helden dem Terror zum Opfer fallen werden.

Russland im August 1918: Das Zarenreich ist Geschichte und die alte Dynastie der Romanows ausgelöscht. Im Land regieren die Bolschewiki mit eiserner Hand. Ein blutiger Bürgerkrieg beginnt, der schließlich Millionen von Menschen das Leben kosten wird. In dieser angespannten und gewaltvollen Situation erschüttern zwei Attentate das riesige Reich. Die Tatorte liegen in Petrograd und Moskau und sie werden die russische Geschichte für immer verändern. Eines der Anschlagsziele ist Wladimir Iljitsch Lenin. Schwer getroffen sackt der Führer der Bolschewiki nach einer Rede zu Boden und sein Leben hängt fortan am seidenen Faden. Und während Lenin um sein Leben kämpft, lässt er gnadenlos Oppositionelle, Bauern, ethnische Minderheiten, Geistliche und Adelige verfolgen und brutal ermorden. Der Rote Terror beginnt und wird auch bald die vermeintliche Attentäterin einholen: eine junge Anarchistin jüdischer Abstammung.

Stāsta mākslas zinātniece, mākslas muzeja "Rīgas birža" vadītājas vietniece, izstāžu kuratore Vita Birzaka Stāsts būs par tēlnieku un Valsts mākslas muzeja direktoru Burkardu Dzeni. Ar uzlecošas saules emblēmu, ko nosacīti uzskata par pirmo valsts ģerboni, Dzenis 1918. gada nogalē uzvarēja konkursā par jaunās Latvijas Republikas nacionālo simbolu. Šis ģerbonis tika lietots līdz 1921. gada 15. jūnijam, kad Satversmes sapulce pieņēma grafiķu Riharda Zariņa un Vilhelma Krūmiņa izstrādātu valsts ģerboni – tādu, kādu mēs to zinām šodien. 20. gadsimta sākumā Burkards Dzenis (1879–1966)  kļuva par vienu no latviešu profesionālās tēlniecības modernizētājiem un akmens tēlniecības tradīciju ieviesējiem. Līdzīgi kā brālēns Teodors Zaļkalns un kolēģis Gustavs Šķilters, mākslinieks Sanktpēterburgā pabeidza Štiglica Centrālo tehniskās zīmēšanas skolu (1898–1905), specializējies dekoratīvajā tēlniecībā. Atjaunotā mākslinieku pulciņa “Rūķis” ideāli sekmēja Dzeņa nacionālo pašapziņu. Studiju beigās piešķirtā ārzemju stipendija viņam deva iespēju franču tēlnieka Ogista Rodēna mācību darbnīcā Parīzē (1906) apgūt impresionisma principus un Maskavā (1907) papildināt pieredzi bronzas liešanā. Pēc atgriešanās no ārzemēm Dzenis Ķīšezera krastā Staņģos uzcēla sev darbnīcu un lietuvi. Līdzās radošajam darbam, Dzenis vienmēr bijis arī sabiedriski aktīvs un nav vairījies no brīžiem grūtas atbildības nastas. Jau 1910. gadā Rīgā viņš iesaistījās pirmās latviešu mākslas izstādes rīkošanā, kas pārauga Latviešu mākslas veicināšanas biedrības dibināšanā. Liktenīgā saskare ar mākslas darbu vākšanu sākās, darbojoties tās valdē. Pirmā pasaules kara laikā tēlnieks piedalījās gan latviešu mākslas izstāžu organizēšanā Petrogradā un Maskavā, gan leģendāro nacionālās mākslas albumu sagatavošanā, ar kuriem diplomāts Zigfrīds Anna Meierovics 1918. gada augustā devās uz Rietumeiropu, cenšoties panākt Latvijas neatkarības starptautisku atzīšanu. 1920. gada 15. martā Dzeni apstiprināja par jaundibinātā “Izglītības ministrijas Mākslas muzeja pagaidu pārzini”. Muzejam ierādīja telpas toreiz vēl karā izpostītajā Rīgas pilī, un kopš šī brīža Rīgā darbojās divi mākslas muzeji – jau agrāk dibinātais Rīgas pilsētas mākslas muzejs gleznotāja Vilhelma Purvīša vadībā un tagad arī – Valsts mākslas muzejs. Dzenis rūpējās gan par muzeja krājuma papildināšanu turpmākos divdesmit gadus, gan iesaistījās valstiski reprezentatīvu izstāžu organizēšanā un dažādu komisiju darbā, kā arī meklēja muzejam piemērotākas, plašākas telpas. Jau 1929. gada 8. novembrī Dzenis rakstīja izglītības ministram par to oficiālu vēstuli, norādot – ja nevar uzcelt speciālu jaunu ēku, tad, piemēram, armijas arsenāls Jēkaba laukumā varētu tikt pārbūvēts muzeja vajadzībām (kopš 1988. gada LNMM izstāžu zāle “Arsenāls”). Vienlaikus Burkards Dzenis vadīja arī Lietišķās tēlniecības meistardarbnīcu Latvijas Mākslas akadēmijā un darbojās mākslinieku un audzēkņu biedrībā “Sadarbs”. Tēlniecībā viņu interesēja portreta žanrs. Memoriālajā tēlniecībā radīti Emīla Dārziņa, Rūdolfa Blaumaņa, Rūdolfa Pērles, Viļa Olava un citi kapu pieminekļi. Pie Latvijas Nacionālā mākslas muzeja ēkas atrodas viņa veidotais gleznotāja Jaņa Rozentāla piemineklis. Nacionālā romantisma garā stilizētās Dzeņa etnogrāfiskās saktas savulaik valkājušas dzejniece Aspazija, operdziedātāja Malvīne Vīgnere-Grīnberga, aktrises Jūlija Skaidrīte, Lilija Ērika un Marija Leiko. Vēl joprojām šodien Mākslas muzeja “Rīgas Birža” ekspozīcijās un ātrijā lietošanā ir Dzeņa savulaik Valsts mākslas muzeja apmeklētājiem dizainētie ozolkoka soli. 1944. gadā mākslinieks ar ģimeni emigrēja uz Vāciju, bet 1950. gadā pārcēlās uz Amerikas Savienotajām Valstīm. Otrā pasaules kara beigās Valsts mākslas muzejā atstāto tēva privātkolekciju, godinot viņa piemiņu, jaunākais dēls Atis Dzenis 1993. gadā uzdāvināja tagadējam Latvijas Nacionālajam mākslas muzejam. Paldies manai muzeja kolēģei un kopā veidotās izstādes “Mūsu muzejs. Valsts mākslas muzejam 100” līdzkuratorei Dr. art. Aijai Brasliņai par palīdzību šī materiāla tapšanā!

Im Jahr 1925 jährte sich zum zweihundertsten Mal der Todestag des russischen Zaren Peter I., genannt „der Große“. Grund genug für die Harburger Anzeigen und Nachrichten, sich am 5. Februar einmal in der von jenem gegründeten und nach ihm benannten Stadt Petersburg umzusehen, die man soeben, nach dem Tode Lenins 1924, nach diesem, dem Gründer der Sowjetunion, in Leningrad umbenannt hatte. Wobei „umsehen“ vielleicht nicht das richtige Verb ist, weil die Zeilen nicht unbedingt den Eindruck erwecken, ihr Autor habe sich zuletzt länger vor Ort aufgehalten. So bleibt der Artikel eher Geschichtsstunde, ergänzt um einige eher pauschal-kritische Anmerkungen über den Verfall des alten Glanzes unter den neuen kommunistischen Herrschern. Es liest Rosa Leu.

Where do you arrive if you follow Vaden's obsessions to their terminus? You arrive at Brian Boyd, the world expert on the two titanic thinkers of the 20th century: Karl Popper and Vladimir Nabokov. Boyd wrote his PhD thesis on Nabokov's 1969 novel Ada, impressing Nabokov's wife Vera so much that he was invited to catalogue Nabokov's unpublished archives. This led to Boyd's two-volume biography of Nabokov, which Vera kept on her beside table. Boyd also developed an interest in Popper, and began research for his biography in 1996, which was then promptly delayed as he worked on his book, On The Origin of Stories, which we [dedicated episode #50]((https://www.incrementspodcast.com/50) to. In this episode, we ask Professor Boyd to contrast and compare his two subjects, by addressing the question: What could Karl Popper have learned from Vladimir Nabokov? We discuss How Brian discovered Nabokov Did Nabokov have a philosophy? Nabokov's life as a scientist Was Nabokov simply a writer of puzzles? How much should author intentions matter when interpreting literature?

Shane Whaley engages in a riveting discussion with historian and author Dr. Claire Hubbard-Hall. Known for her expertise in the history of women in intelligence, Claire brings to light the overlooked yet monumental roles women have played in British Intelligence. Her book titled Her Secret Service - The Forgotten Women of British Intelligence aims to challenge the male-dominated narrative of intelligence history. Recognition and Roles: Changing Perceptions The episode also discusses the broader evolution of women's roles in British intelligence, shedding light on figures like Jane Sismore, MI5's first officer, and Mary Shearer, MI5's first female agent handler. Claire elaborates on how societal changes, particularly during wartime when men were at the front, necessitated the inclusion of women in more substantial roles. However, progress was slow, often hinging on the approval and support of male counterparts.   Winifred Spink, a strikingly attractive woman born into a Plymouth Brethren family, was a rebel and suffragette who defied conventions of her time. Fluent in French and German, she also mastered car mechanics and excelled as a secretary. Shortly before the 1916 revolution, she broke new ground as the first female intelligence officer with the British mission to Petrograd, narrowly escaping execution during her time there. Bold and liberated, she chronicled her numerous romantic liaisons in her diary, referring to them as “another scalp.” Equally remarkable was Olga Gray, who joined MI5 in 1931 and successfully infiltrated the British Communist Party as secretary to its leader, Harry Pollitt, ultimately exposing a Soviet spy ring. Joan Bright, another inspiration for the character of Miss Moneypenny, was lauded as the "organising genius of the War Office secretariat" during the Second World War. She became the gatekeeper to the War Office's secrets and a valuable source for historians throughout her life. Despite her significant contributions, Gray received little support and was eventually abandoned by MI5, showcasing the institutional barriers women faced. Shining a Light on the Forgotten Women of British Intellgence As Dr Claire Hubbard-Hall continues to uncover these hidden stories, her work is instrumental in revising our understanding of espionage history. By highlighting the indispensable roles women have played, she not only corrects historical oversights but also paves the way for future generations to appreciate and recognize the silent heroines of intelligence. For those interested in delving deeper into these narratives, Claire's book "Her Secret Service" is available in the UK and will be released in the US as "Secret Servants of the Crown: Women, British Intelligence" in February. Join us in celebrating the remarkable forgotten women of British Intelligence.

By March 1917 a new system of dual power had established itself in the capital city Petrograd. The Provisional Government, a group comprised of the Tsar's former ministers who refused to disband, and the Petrograd Soviet, a meeting of delegates from the committees established in factories and army regiments, existed in an uneasy partnership with one another. This episode of our AQA Revolution and Dictatorship 1917-53 study course explores in depth these two organisations and how their dysfunction provided opportunities for Lenin and the Bolsheviks.Help the podcast to continue bringing you history each weekIf you enjoy the Explaining History podcast and its many years of content and would like to help the show continue, please consider supporting it in the following ways:If you want to go ad-free, you can take out a membership hereOrYou can support the podcast via Patreon hereOr you can just say some nice things about it here Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/explaininghistory.

What happened when news of the Russian Revolution reached the empire's rural areas? How did the largely non literate peasantry interact with this change? How did the Russian Orthodox Church carry the message of the revolution? What did the empire's non Russian and non Christian peoples make of it? This episode explores the chaotic and fragmented way in which Russian society encountered revolutionary change.

Det är december 1916. Petrograd vilar i mörker, men i ett av stadens pampiga palats pågår en sammansvärjning som ska skaka Ryssland i grunden. Grigorij Rasputin – mannen som vunnit tsarfamiljens förtroende och hela landets hat – har blivit för farlig. Hans fiender har bestämt sig: han måste dö.Giftet glittrar i vinglasen, skotten ekar i natten, men Rasputin vägrar dö. Det som skulle bli en enkel avrättning förvandlas till en mardröm. Varje gång de tror att han är borta, reser han sig igen. Är han odödlig – eller bara för driven av mörka krafter?Denna natt markerar slutet för Rasputin, men också början på det ryska imperiets fall.

How did people outside Petrograd hear about the events of February 1917? News spread quickly to cities like Kazan and Nizhni Novgorod due to the telegraph and train but more slowly in the towns and villages. The revolution was not experienced by all Russians, at all times in the same way. Instead the fragmented nature of Russia, its geography and sparse population presented the new Provisional Government with challenges in explaining to some Russians who it was that now ruled them.

Chaque année, la "journée internationale de la femme" est célébrée le 8 mars. Mais d'où vient le choix de cette date ? On a longtemps cru qu'elle avait été retenue en hommage aux couturières new-yorkaises, qui auraient manifesté, le 8 mars 1857, pour réclamer de meilleures conditions de travail.Or l'historienne Françoise Picq, spécialisée dans l'étude des mouvements féministes et l'évolution du droit des femmes, a démontré que cette manifestation n'avait jamais existé.Cet événement aurait été créé de toutes pièces, dans les années 1950, par la presse communiste. La légende se serait ensuite perpétuée, d'année en année.En réalité, c'est une autre manifestation qui aurait imposé la date du 8 mars. En effet, le 8 mars 1917, peu de temps après la Révolution de février, et une semaine avant l'abdication du Tsar Nicolas II, des ouvrières russes manifestent à Petrograd, aujourd'hui Saint-Pétersbourg.Pour les bolcheviques, cet événement marque même le premier jour du mouvement qui allait mener à la Révolution d'octobre.Si l'on en croit Françoise Picq, le remplacement du 8 mars 1917 par une autre date, sans fondement historique, serait dû à des jeux de pouvoir entre le parti communiste et la CGT, qui aspirait alors à une certaine autonomie.Quant à l'idée même d'une journée internationale, consacrée à l'émancipation et aux droits de la femme, on la doit à Clara Zetkin, grande figure du marxisme et Présidente, durant 10 ans, de l'Internationale des femmes socialistes. C'est dans le cadre de cette instance qu'elle en fait admettre le principe, en août 1910.La première "journée internationale des femmes" est célébrée dès l'année suivante, en 1911. Cependant, elle se tient, non pas le 8 mars, mais le 19.L'URSS est le premier pays à reconnaître cette journée, en en faisant un jour férié dès 1921. D'autres pays du bloc socialiste lui emboîtent le pas. Cependant, il faudra attendre 1977 pour que l'Onu fasse du 8 mars la date officielle de cette journée dédiée aux femmes du monde entier.

#RUSSIA: US Treasury sanctions the Moscow Exchange and the Rouble reaches 200 per dollar. Michael Bernstam, Hoover Institution https://www.barrons.com/news/us-sanctions-over-300-russia-targets-including-moscow-exchange-cfdf7d06 1923 Petrograd

When the Soviet Union came into being in 1917, some American left-wing intellectuals hailed the establishment of the new “workers' paradise” as the model for the United States (and indeed the rest of the world) to follow. Some even traveled to Russia to pay homage to the communist dictatorship – as for example journalist Lincoln Steffens, who upon returning from Moscow and Petrograd infamously declared: “I have seen the future, and it works.” In later years, some American leftists saw similar visions on their visits to left-wing authoritarian regimes such as Mao's China and Castro's Cuba.But this fascination with foreign autocrats also had its counterpart on the conservative side, as veteran journalist Jacob Heilbrunn explains in his fascinating new book America Last: The Right's Century-Long Romance with Foreign Dictators. Other commentators have noticed the contemporary American right's embrace of figures such as Hungary's Victor Orbán — the Conservative Political Action Conference held its third annual gathering in Budapest in May 2024 — and Vladimir Putin, whose “genius” and “savvy” Donald Trump praised after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. But Heilbrunn writes that such attitudes are merely the latest manifestation of a conservative tradition that traces back to the First World War, “when intellectuals on the Right displayed an unease with mass democracy that manifested itself in a hankering for authoritarian leaders abroad.” This tradition continued with right-wing praise for Hitler's Germany and Mussolini's Italy during the interwar years, and for Franco's Spain and Pinochet's Chile during the Cold War.In this podcast interview, Heilbrunn discusses the ways in which the Old Right's preoccupations have returned to the modern American conservative movement as well as the ways in which the New Right's founder, William F. Buckley Jr., used the hatreds unleashed by Senator Joseph McCarthy's anticommunist crusade as a political weapon. He explains why paleoconservatives such as Patrick Buchanan liked the neoconservative Jeanne Kirkpatrick's distinction between right-wing authoritarians and totalitarians, and also why Buchanan is not so much an isolationist as an advocate for a kind of internationalism rooted in conservative values, whiteness, and cultural pessimism about liberal democracy.

PUTIN ALONE DICTATED THE WAR:  5/8: The Russo-Ukrainian War: The Return of History. by  Serhii Plokhy  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Russo-Ukrainian-War-Return-History/dp/1324051191 Despite repeated warnings from the White House, Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 shocked the world. Why did Putin start the war―and why has it unfolded in previously unimaginable ways? Ukrainians have resisted a superior military; the West has united, while Russia grows increasingly isolated. Serhii Plokhy, a leading historian of Ukraine and the Cold War, offers a definitive account of this conflict, its origins, course, and the already apparent and possible future consequences. Though the current war began eight years before the all-out assault―on February 27, 2014, when Russian armed forces seized the building of the Crimean parliament―the roots of this conflict can be traced back even earlier, to post-Soviet tensions and imperial collapse in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Providing a broad historical context and an examination of Ukraine and Russia's ideas and cultures, as well as domestic and international politics, Plokhy reveals that while this new Cold War was not inevitable, it was predictable. Ukraine, Plokhy argues, has remained central to Russia's idea of itself even as Ukrainians have followed a radically different path. In a new international environment defined by the proliferation of nuclear weapons, the disintegration of the post–Cold War international order, and a resurgence of populist nationalism, Ukraine is now more than ever the most volatile fault line between authoritarianism and democratic Europe. 1923 PETROGRAD

We are republishing Alan Wood's series on the Russian Revolution as a podcast, originally released to mark the centenary of the greatest event in human history. In part five, Alan Woods discusses the failed coup attempt by General Kornilov and the impact this had on the political consciousness of the masses. Following the events of the "July Days" in 1917, the Bolsheviks were driven underground and the forces of reaction were emboldened. Nevertheless, the terrible conditions facing the workers, peasants, and soldiers meant that the radical mood amongst the masses did not go away. This process culminated in the reactionary forces coalescing around General Kornilov, who attempt to march on Petrograd and crush the revolutionary movement in its entirety. But, with the Bolsheviks taking a leading role, the organised working class was able to defend the city against Kornilov's coup. As a result, Lenin and Bolshevik Party won the support of the vast majority of the workers and soldiers, preparing the way for the October Revolution.

The Tsar has abdicated and the provisional government rules Russia, but Petrograd is overflowing with revolutionaries who want more radical change. Lenin has returned from exile and is looking to seize power for the Bolsheviks. Their momentum is growing and with Russia still in the First World War, Kerensky and the provisional government's authority is draining away. Listen as William and Anita are once again joined by the great Antony Beevor to discuss the October Revolution and the Bolsheviks' consolidation of power in the civil war.

Although he became increasingly averse to writing for publication, his improvised lectures and talks were sometimes recorded and transcribed, and many of his spoken words were converted into published essays and books, both by himself and by others, especially his principal editor from 1974, Henry Hardy. Born in Riga (now the capital of Latvia, then a part of the Russian Empire) in 1909, he moved to Petrograd, Russia, at the age of six, where he witnessed the revolutions of 1917. In 1921 his family moved to the UK, and he was educated at St Paul's School, London, and Corpus Christi College, Oxford. In 1932, at the age of twenty-three, Berlin was elected to a prize fellowship at All Souls College, Oxford. In addition to his own prolific output, he translated works by Ivan Turgenev from Russian into English and, during World War II, worked for the British Diplomatic Service. From 1957 to 1967 he was Chichele Professor of Social and Political Theory at the University of Oxford. He was president of the Aristotelian Society from 1963 to 1964. In 1966, he played a critical role in creating Wolfson College, Oxford, and became its founding President. Berlin was appointed a CBE in 1946, knighted in 1957, and appointed to the Order of Merit in 1971. He was President of the British Academy from 1974 to 1978. He also received the 1979 Jerusalem Prize for his lifelong defence of civil liberties, and on 25 November 1994 he received the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws at the University of Toronto, for which occasion he prepared a "short credo" (as he called it in a letter to a friend), now known as "A Message to the Twenty-First Century", to be read on his behalf at the ceremony. An annual Isaiah Berlin Lecture is held at the Hampstead Synagogue, at Wolfson College, Oxford, at the British Academy, and in Riga. Berlin's work on liberal theory and on value pluralism, as well as his opposition to Marxism and communism, has had a lasting influence.

St. Sophia of Kiev (+1941) was a valiant Abbess, Confessor, and spiritual guide for the faithful during their apocalyptic trial under the Bolshevik antichrists. This account of her life is found in "Russia's Catacomb Saints" written and translated by I. M. Andreyev, Fr. Seraphim Rose, Fr. Herman Podmoshensky, and others. Published in 1982 by the St. Herman of Alaska Brotherhood. Read "Russia's Catacomb Saints": https://russiascatacombsaints.blogspot.com/ From the Life of St. Sophia: “Of inestimable spiritual value is the fearless stand for Christ's Truth by the New Martyrs of Russia. Especially by their manful act of testifying where the Truth was to be found at a time when many did not see this—the Josephite confessors of 1927 and thereafter historically preserved the savor of Orthodoxy for generations to follow. Now that almost half a century has passed, history has shown that these "stubborn rebels," the followers of Metropolitan Joseph of Petrograd, were absolutely correct, and their significance now shines forth as equal to that of the great Confessors of Orthodoxy in ancient times. One of such Josephites was Abbess Sophia, whose boldness as a confessor was a direct result of her high spirituality and genuine Orthodox world-view. She reached spiritual maturity at the time of Russia's pinnacle of holiness, when the Russian land was preparing to offer itself as a pure and ripe sacrifice to God at the bloody hands of the God-hating Communists.” "Being a true offspring of the Optina Elders, with whom she was in constant contact, she soberly discerned the true nature of the Soviet Revolution and knew what to expect from it. Thus, when the assault of the "Living Church" struck, her convent was one of the first to give a blow back, although she herself had already been arrested. A new calendarist bishop was forced into the convent by GPU agents to serve Liturgy. When the women who attended it came up to kiss the Cross at the end, one after another they spit on the bishop's hand that held the Cross, and thus an end was put to "renovation" in the Protection Convent, and the bishop learned his lesson and repented. Hearing about this, Bishop Damascene exclaimed with bitterness: 'If it were not for women, who else would defend the Church? Let them at least defend it however they can!'" "The last morning in the much-suffering life of Abbess Sophia arrived when she was amidst her spiritual daughters, on a collective farm near Serpukhov which was a catacomb convent. She was in a state of absolute exhaustion. not having partaken of any food for several days. After morning prayers, when her room had been put in order, Mother Sophia asked to be left alone, and then began to read her favorite book, the Gospel, — when the sisters heard her coughing and gasping for air. The agony lasted for three hours, but she was fully conscious and her eyes were clear. Then she turned her gaze to an icon, closed her eyes for the last time, and departed to the Lord. That was on March 22 (April 4, NS), 1941." _______ Orthodox Wisdom is dedicated to sharing the writings and lives of the Saints of the Orthodox Church.

Episode 132:This week we're continuing with Post-Scarcity Anarchism by Murray Bookchin.You can find the book here:https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/murray-bookchin-post-scarcity-anarchism-book[Part 1 - 4]Post-Scarcity AnarchismEcology and Revolutionary Thought[Part 5 - 8]Towards a Liberatory Technology[Part 9 - 10]The Forms of Freedom-The Mediation of Social Relations[Part 11]Listen, Marxist!-The Historical Limits of Marxism[Part 12 - This Week]Listen, Marxist!-The Myth of the Proletariat - 0:29[Part 13 - 15]Listen, Marxist!Footnotes:42) 1:12For ecological reasons, we do not accept the notion of the “domination of nature by man” in the simplistic sense that was passed on by Marx a century ago. For a discussion of this problem, see “Ecology and Revolutionary Thought.” 43) 3:08It is ironic that Marxists who talk about the “economic power” of the proletariat are actually echoing the position of the anarcho-syndicalists, a position that Marx bitterly opposed. Marx was not concerned with the “economic power” of the proletariat but with its political power; notably the fact that it would become the majority of the population. He was convinced that the industrial workers would be driven to revolution primarily by material destitution which would follow from the tendency of capitalist accumulation; that, organized by the factory system and disciplined by an industrial routine, they would be able to constitute trade unions and, above all, political parties, which in some countries would be obliged to use insurrectionary methods and in others (England, the United States, and in later years Engels added France) might well come to power in elections and legislate socialism into existence. Characteristically, many Marxists have been as dishonest with their Marx and Engels as the Progressive Labor Party has been with the readers of Challenge, leaving important observations untranslated or grossly distorting Marx's meaning. 44) 4:35This is as good a place as any to dispose of the notion that anyone is a “proletarian” who has nothing to sell but his labor power. It is true that Marx defined the proletariat in these terms, but he also worked out a historical dialectic in the development of the proletariat. The proletariat develop out of a propertyless exploited class, reaching its most advanced form in the industrial proletariat, which corresponded to the most advanced form of capital. In the later years of his life, Marx came to despise the Parisian workers, who were engaged preponderantly in the production of luxury goods, citing “our German workers”—the most robot-like in Europe—as the “model” proletariat of the world. 45) 6:26The attempt to describe Marx's immiseration theory in international terms instead of national (as Marx did) is sheer subterfuge. In the first place, this theoretical legerdemain simply tries to sidestep the question of why immiseration has not occurred within the industrial strongholds of capitalism, the only areas which form a technologically adequate point of departure for a classless society. If we are to pin our hopes on the colonial world as “the proletariat,” this position conceals a very real danger: genocide. America and her recent ally Russia have all the technical means to bomb the underdeveloped world into submission. A threat lurks on the historical horizon—the development of the United States into a truly fascist imperium of the nazi type. It is sheer rubbish to say that this country is a “paper tiger.” It is a thermonuclear tiger and the American ruling class, lacking any cultural restraints, is capable of being even more vicious than the German. 46) 8:17Lenin sensed this and described “socialism” as “nothing but state capitalist monopoly made to benefit the whole people.” (see citation 29 below) This is an extraordinary statement if one thinks out its implications, and a mouthful of contradictions. 47) 13:33On this score, the Old Left projects its own neanderthal image on the American worker. Actually this image more closely approximates the character of the union bureaucrat or the Stalinist commissar. 48) 16:56The worker, in this sense, begins to approximate the socially transitional human types who have provided history with its most revolutionary elements. Generally, the “proletariat” has been most revolutionary in transitional periods, when it was least “proletarianized” psychically by the industrial system. The great focuses of the classical workers' revolutions were Petrograd and Barcelona, where the workers had been directly uprooted from a peasant background, and Paris, where they were still anchored in crafts or came directly from a craft background. These workers had the greatest difficulty in acclimating themselves to industrial domination and became a continual source of social and revolutionary unrest. By contrast, the stable hereditary working class tended to be surprisingly non-revolutionary. Even in the case of the German workers who were cited by Marx and Engels as models for the European proletariat, the majority did not support the Spartacists of 1919. They return large majorities of official Social Democrats to the Congress of Workers' Councils, and to the Reichstag in later years, and rallied consistently behind the Social Democratic Party right up to 1933. 49) 18:28This revolutionary lifestyle may develop in the factories as well as on the streets, in schools as well as in crash pads, in the suburbs as well as on the Bay Area–East Side axis. Its essence is defiance, and a personal “propaganda of the deed” that erodes all the mores, institutions and shibboleths of domination. As society begins to approach the threshold of the revolutionary period, the factories, schools and neighborhoods become the actual arena of revolutionary “play”—a “play” that has a very serious core. Strikes become a chronic condition and are called for their own sake to break the veneer of routine, to defy the society on an almost hourly basis, to shatter the mood of bourgeois normality. This new mood of the workers, students and neighborhood people is a vital precursor to the actual moment of revolutionary transformation. Its most conscious expression is the demand for “self-management”; the worker refuses to be a “managed” being, a class being. This process was most evident in Spain, on the eve of the 1936 revolution, when workers in almost every city and town called strikes “for the hell of it”—to express their independence, their sense of awakening, their break with the social order and with bourgeois conditions of life. It was also an essential feature of the 1968 general strike in France. Citations:29) (referenced in a footnote above)V.I.

Kristen Ghodsee reads and discusses Alexandra Kollontai's 1918 essay, "The First Steps Towards the Protection of Motherhood." Kollontai saw motherhood as a "obligation" and "sacred duty" of women, and was very pro-natalist in her politics. But many of the policies she implemented between 1917 and 1918 reflected the desires of working women who attended the conferences Kollontai organized in Petrograd. In many ways, Kollontai may be the reason that policies and programs like daycare, parental leaves, and child allowances (or tax credits) exist in the present day. Thanks so much for listening.

Synopsis Today marks the birthday of the American pianist and composer Donald Shirley, who was born in Pensacola, Florida, in 1927, to Jamaican immigrant parents: a mother who was a teacher and a father an Episcopalian priest. Young Donald was a musical prodigy who made his debut with the Boston Pops at age 18, performing Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto. If Shirley had been born 20 years later, he might have had the career enjoyed by Andre Watts, who born in 1946. But in the late 1940s, when Shirley was in his 20s, impresario Sol Hurok advised him that America was not ready for a black classical pianist, so instead Shirley toured performing his own arrangements of pop tunes accompanied by cello and double-bass. His Trio recorded successful albums marketed as “jazz” during the 1950s and 60s, but Shirley also released a solo LP of his piano improvisations that sounds more like Debussy or Scriabin, and he composed organ symphonies, string quartets, concertos, chamber works, and a symphonic tone poem based on the novel Finnegans Wake by James Joyce. The 2018 Oscar-winning film “Green Book” sparked renewed interest in Shirley's career as a performer, but those of us curious to hear his organ symphonies and concert works hope they get a second look as well.

This week, the performer and author Elizabeth Wilson speaks to Artemis from the offices of Yale University Press in Bedford Square. Elizabeth tells us about the early life of a remarkable pianist, Maria Yudina, who rose to fame in Stalin's Russia. Maria Yudina was born in 1899 to a Jewish family in Nevel, a small town which now sits close to Russia's border with Belarus. Legend has it that Maria was Stalin's favourite pianist. Those who have seen Armando Iannucci's satirical film The Death of Stalin may remember the opening scene in which a pianist is forced to repeat her live performance so that a recording can be made of it and sent to Stalin. As Elizabeth explains in her new biography of the musician, Playing with Fire, the provenance of this story and whether it is about Maria is unclear. However, there is no shortage of fascinating and true stories about Maria, as Elizabeth shows us in this conversation. Maria came of age as the February revolution broke out in St Petersburg, where she was studying music. She took part briefly – even accidentally firing a rifle through a ceiling – before being questioned by a teacher from the conservatoire where she was studying. For most of her life though, Maria wasn't a revolutionary but an intellectual. Her social circle was made up of the leading figures of Russia's intelligentsia, including Boris Pasternak, Pavel Florensky, and Mikhail Bakhtin.  In this episode we visit Maria in 1921, the year she graduated from the conservatoire and was appointed as a member of staff aged just 21. It was also a year in which the relationship between Russia's new revolutionary state and the country's artists and intellectuals felt uneasy and, at times, destructive.    Show notes: Scene One: Maria's graduation ceremony. Scene Two: Maria's debut performance in Petrograd, which coincides with the poet Alexander Blok's death and funeral.  Scene Three: The end of the civil war and the introduction of NEP. Memento: A chess set which shows pieces representing 2 sides of the Russian Civil War.   People/Social Presenter: Artemis Irvine Guest: Elizabeth Wilson Production: Maria Nolan Podcast partner: Ace Cultural Tours Theme music: ‘Love Token' from the album ‘This Is Us' By Slava and Leonard Grigoryan Follow us on Twitter: @tttpodcast_ Or on Facebook See where 1921 fits on our Timeline

In this episode Kristen Ghodsee reads a newspaper article from the periodical Current Opinion from 18 January 1918, just months after the Russian Revolution. The article, "Madame Kollontay: Heroine of the Bolsheviki Upheaval In Petrograd," is a profile of Kollontai by an American newspaper using Swiss  sources. Much of the information is incorrect, and the article draws on many negative stereotypes about women in positions of power.This is the first episode of Season 5 as the podcast prepares to celebrate its fourth anniversary in January. Subscribe to Kristen Ghodsee's (very occasional) free newsletter.

In the final sentence of A People's Tragedy, his multi-award winning study of the Russian Revolution, Orlando Figes wrote ominously that, ‘the ghosts of 1917 have not been laid to rest.' This year, as Russia's brutal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine has played out, we have been able to glimpse some of these ghosts: fear, paranoia, grievance. All these emotions have arisen out of a long, complicated and contested history that Figes has attempted to explain for a Western readership in his illuminating new book: The Story of Russia. In this episode we talk about Vladimir Putin's use and misuse of history today and we look back to a particularly significant year in Russia's past. 1917 brought revolution to Russia. ‘It is hard to think of an event, or series of events, that has affected the history of the past one hundred years more profoundly', Figes writes. The Russian Revolution is an event that began in Petrograd (St Petersburg) in Feburary 1917 and thereafter was driven forward by Vladimir Lenin's singular character. We scruitinise this event, as ever, in three telling scenes. Orlando Figes's The Story of Russia is out now from Bloomsbury. Show notes Scene One: March 1917. Tauride Palace in Petrograd (St Petersburg). Scene Two: 3-4 July 1917. Kshesinskaya Mansion in Petrograd. Scene Three: 25 October 1917. Smolnyi Institute in Petrograd.

James, Matthew and Rudy join for a followup on From Paris to Petrograd: State and Revolution in Practice to discuss how the ideas of the party, the masses and democracy changes from Lenin's State and Revolution to the proclamation of the Shanghai Commune during the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. We start off talking about Lenin's attitude towards the problem of specialists in the RSFSR, how this was solved by Stalin by strengthening the Party, and how Mao made an immanent critique of Stalin's solution. We then detail the process leading up to the formation of the Shanghai commune, outline the main actors involved and discuss what was unique in Shanghai with respect to other cities in this period. We finish talking about the aftermath of the commune and compare different readings on the GPCR and the Shanghai commune. References: N.

Cartoonist Tyler Crook joins Off Panel to chat about his career and current Dark Horse series, The Lonesome Hunters. Crook discusses his comic and art origins, influences, his time in video games, tackling Petrograd, following Guy Davis on B.P.R.D., the origins of Lonesome Hunters, the relationship at the core of the story, narration, emotions over plot, magpies as villains, writing as an artist, water colors, the perks of doing your own thing, and more.

Parker, James, Rudy and Cliff join for a discussion on the context of Lenin's State and Revolution, and how those ideas were applied in the early years of the Soviet government. We start by discussing the context of the book, especially in relationship with the recent audiobook by Kautsky on Democracy and Republicanism. We continue by discussing the debates in the Second International around the Paris Commune, the Immediate Genesis of the Book during the First World War, the text itself and its surrounding context, the ways in which the principles of the book were implemented after 1917, and why the early RSFSR government gave way to the dictatorship of the politburo.
