Russia's Student Press, 1901-1917   <http://www.idc.nl/ez/17> www.idc.nl/ez/17

An essential source for the history and culture of Russia 

 

In the early twentieth century, Russia's student community - or studenchestvo - was a highly visible and often controversial force in Russian political and social life. With the rise of mass movements and political parties, students could no longer claim to be agents of revolution, but the studenchestvo remained one of the most politically active and socially engaged groups in Russian society, despite the attempts of the government to suppress such activism. 

 

Until now, one of the most important sources on this lively period in higher education has been largely inaccessible to Western scholars: the student press. With the relative freedom of the press during the years 1906-1917, students published scores of newspapers and journals as well as volumes of collected articles that provide unique access to the heterogeneous world of the university. Students also participated in many other spheres: the development of political parties from the extreme left to the extreme right; the (Christian) religious renaissance; the spread of national and nationalist movements; the workers' movement; debates on women's rights and legalized prostitution as well as anti-Semitism and the rights of Jews.
