Kniha podle recenzenta náleží k inspirativnímu proudu angloamerické historiografie orientovanému na bádání o ruských revolucích a počátcích sovětského režimu. Autor v ní zkoumá sociální strategie, s nimiž se příslušníci vrstev šlechty, statkářů a důstojníků, souhrnně označovaných jako carské elity, vyrovnávali s prudkými změnami politických a společenských poměrů v ruských revolucích roku 1917., This work, according to the reviewer, is in the inspiring current of Anglo-American historiography of the Russian revolutions and the beginnings of the Soviet régime. In this publication the author considers the social strategies employed by members of the aristocracy, landowning classes, and the military – which he groups together under the label ‘Tsarist élite’ – to deal with the precipitous political and social changes brought about by the Russian revolutions of 1917., and [autor recenze] Dalibor Vácha.
On September 16, 2015 theOriental Institute of the CAS organized an international conference, which addressed the question of the meanings of democracy in the Middle East, Asia, and Russia and the role that democracy plays in the discourse of the political elites and non-state actors in these regions. The case studies at the conference described the situation in Egypt, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, China and Russia. Democracy plays a crucial role in the efforts of the Western world to promote peace and stability and maintain international security. However, in recent years, countries such as China and Russia have explicitly offered an alternative interpretation of democracy to the public, both domestically and internationally, one which builds on national, cultural and political traditions and contradicts the claims for universality common in theWest. Furthermore, non-universalistic discourses on democracy have become popular among diverse non-state actors, such as Islamicmovements, non-formal authorities, or civil society across the Middle East and Central Asia. These developments have important implications for both the efforts aimed at the promotion of democracy and for the advance of democracy in general. and Věra Exnerová.
