Abstract

This covers the history of Russia from the defeat of Napoleon to the eve of World War I. It is the first such work by a post-Soviet Russian scholar to appear in English. It examines the decay of the two central institutions of tsarist Russia: serfdom and autocracy; the major social groups and how they reacted to the Great Reforms.

Abstract

This book provides a systematic history of Sino-Russian relations, a history which is invaluable in forming an understanding of relations between the two nations today. Becoming neighbours in the seventeenth century, their changing relations in peace and war, in isolation, cooperation and confrontation have steadily assumed a greater importance in world politics and become increasingly important to the stability of international relations.

Abstract

De la révolution d'Octobre 1917 aux derniers événements de 1922, la guerre civile russe a fait des ravages : des millions de morts, épidémies de typhus et de choléra, famine et misère, terreur et déportation des populations. On en connaît surtout la lutte des rouges contre les Russes blancs. Mais une troisième force issue du monde rural émergeait. Bandes de pillards ou armées de partisans, paysans insurgés, les « verts », se sont battus contre les blancs et les rouges : ils ont refusé la circonscription, la réquisition de récoltes ou se déclaraient pour la liberté du commerce et contre la dictature de la ville, rejetant les « communes », anarchistes, socialistes révolutionnaires ou ultra nationalistes. Leur histoire est ici revisitée à la lumière de documents russes, souvent inédits en français, traduits du russe par Jean-Jacques Marie. Ces témoignages sont rares, ils ont disparu ou ont été qualifiés de « bandits », Staline les a gommés de l'histoire pour réduire la révolution à un conflit manichéen, l'historiographie enfin leur réserve une place presque inexistante. Le récit des événements ponctué de ces textes et de témoignages forts fait apparaître des acteurs mythiques : Makhno et son armée, le général Wrangel, les révoltés de Cronstadt, le baron fou Ungern, ou le chef partisan Kotovski... Ces aventuriers au destin trouble et l'intrusion du réel donnent lieu à des descriptions saisissantes. Jean-Jacques Marie est historien, russophone et spécialiste de l'Union soviétique et du communisme. Il a écrit de nombreux ouvrages sur cette période dont récemment une biographie de Staline (Fayard, 2001), de Lénine (Balland, 2004) et un essai sur les Goulags (PUF, 1999).

Abstract

From about 1600 to 1800, the Qing empire of China expanded to unprecedented size. Through astute diplomacy, economic investment, and a series of ambitious military campaigns into the heart of Central Eurasia, the Manchu rulers defeated the Zunghar Mongols, and brought all of modern Xinjiang and Mongolia under their control, while gaining dominant influence in Tibet. The China we know is a product of these vast conquests. Peter C. Perdue chronicles this little-known story of China's expansion into the northwestern frontier. Unlike previous Chinese dynasties, the Qing achieved lasting domination over the eastern half of the Eurasian continent. Rulers used forcible repression when faced with resistance, but also aimed to win over subject peoples by peaceful means. They invested heavily in the economic and administrative development of the frontier, promoted trade networks, and adapted ceremonies to the distinct regional cultures. Perdue thus illuminates how China came to rule Central Eurasia and how it justifies that control, what holds the Chinese nation together, and how its relations with the Islamic world and Mongolia developed. He offers valuable comparisons to other colonial empires and discusses the legacy left by China's frontier expansion. The Beijing government today faces unrest on its frontiers from peoples who reject its autocratic rule. At the same time, China has launched an ambitious development program in its interior that in many ways echoes the old Qing policies. China Marches West is a tour de force that will fundamentally alter the way we understand Central Eurasia.
