Rumors, Images, Emotions. Mass Moods of Russians During the War and Revolution (1914-1918)
39.99 €
The years of the First World War were a time of global change: not only the political and social structure of many countries changed, but also the public consciousness and perception of historical time characteristic of the 19th century. The war was to a large extent the culmination of the crisis caused by the clash between traditional culture and the emerging culture of modernity. In his fundamental monograph, historian V. Aksenov shows how this crisis manifested itself at the level of mass sentiment in Russia. The author analyzes patriotic ideas, mass actions, visual images, religious and political symbolism, peasant discourse, written urban culture, phobias, rumors and related emotions. According to the author, by 1917 the emotional perception of reality began to prevail over the reasoning and logical one, and the conflict between traditional and modern worldviews did not allow to unite Russian society on the basis of patriotic ideas built around the outdated autocratic mythology. During the 1917 revolution, rumors largely determined the course of political events. Vladislav Aksenov is a specialist in the social history of Russia in the early twentieth century, a senior researcher at the Institute of Russian History of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
