Bab'i bunty – women's riots - were a form of collective action in which women responded to crisis by making conscious and explicit use of their sex to achieve clear political goals. Owing to rapidly rising prices of food and manufactured goods from 1916 onwards the First World War saw widespread bab'i bunty across the Russian empire. In Semirech'e – the only region of Russian Central Asia with a substantial settler population - the class politics of these protests were complicated by questions of ethnicity and religion. This article explores a series of bab'i bunty which erupted in the towns of Lepsinsk and Vernyi and their surrounding districts, in which Slavic soldiers' wives (soldatki) targeted Muslim-owned businesses, but also those owned by their fellow settlers. In between these outbreaks in the summer of 1916 Semirech'e would become the centre of a violent uprising by Kazakhs and Kyrgyz against the Tsarist regime.

together holds at least as much hope as it does anticipation of ill fate’ (110–11). However, for the present reviewer the high point of Professor Finke’s study must be the sections he devotes to Three Sisters. There can be no doubt that even the most experienced scholar of Chekhov’s drama will find much that is new here. From a detailed history of the writing of the play and its staging, we then find a subtle and insightful account of the many motifs contained in it. ‘The space of this play is highly ambiguous: a respite for the officers garrisoned there, for the three sisters and their brother it is rather a kind of underworld in which they feel trapped’ (175). Gender issues are also re-evaluated: ‘in a play whose title declares it to be about sisters, military life becomes one way of defining masculinity. That term is provocatively absent in the play’s title— why indeed no mention of the brother?— but all the more central in its very absence’ (177). Finally, the all-important themes of time and place in this play are given attention in ways that will surely inspire new and more experienced scholars of Chekhov’s plays to reflection: ‘Moscow is not actually a destination one might reach by road or train; perhaps [the sisters] cannot return because the Moscow of their memories is not at all a place, but a time — and time is, after all, the first motif sounded in the play’s dialogue’ (179). It is hoped that readers of this short review will take the opportunity to read this magnificent new contribution to Chekhov studies. Professor Finke is indeed to be congratulated for this scholarly work.

Aleksandr Guchkov is a well-known figure of Russian politics from the first two decades of the 20th century. However, his activities in exile have not been thoroughly studied. Among the myriad of engagements against the Soviet regime in the 1920s–1930s that Guchkov planned, the Conradi-Polunin Process (May–November 1923) in Lausanne stands out. Through previously unpublished documents and other sources, this article analyses two developments. First, the crucial role that Guchkov played in the absolution of both men, who conspired and killed Soviet diplomat Vatslav Vorovsky, as the main compiler of evidence against the prosecution, turning the trial into a denunciation of communism. Second, the way in which Guchkov’s efforts in the Process engaged with the creation of Théodore Aubert’s Entente Internationale Anticommuniste (1924–1950), the most ambitious anticommunist organization within the transnational Right in the interwar period.

This article investigates the changing uses of urban space by socialists in the Siberian city of Krasnoiarsk between 1895 and 1905. Drawing on the memoirs of participants and contemporary police and newspaper reports, it reveals a shift in the ‘spatial tactics’ used by socialists, from clandestine ‘circles’ towards open gatherings and protests. These open actions constituted a key part of local revolutionary events in the summer and autumn of 1905 as socialist party activists, joined by workers from the railway workshops, sought to upturn the established political and economic order in the city by seizing and transforming prominent local places. However, at key moments space could be seized back by local authorities and anti-revolutionary groups, forcing socialists to reconsider and further improvise their spatial tactics. The article further highlights the role of the Krasnoiarsk Soviet that was established in December 1905, demonstrating that it contributed to socialists’ efforts to secure access to public space but did not, as previously suggested by some historians, seize outright power in the city.

This article focuses on travels undertaken by future students of the Communist University of the Toilers of the East (KUTV). It puts the experience ‘on the road’ on the map of the transnational world of the Cominternians as a quintessential part of the interwar communist experience. The article sets the backdrop with the initial expectations of the students. Then it discusses the hardships that KUTVians had to endure in their journey and its effect. Finally, it reconstructs the travel experience as a rite of passage towards the Cominternian militant habitus and as a site of political transformation.

This article studies police reports in Baku province in 1915–16 housed in the State Historical Archive of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The reports written by the detectives of Baku province’s gendarmerie reflect larger trends in Baku’s changing socio-economic and political dynamics during the First World War. The gendarmerie expressed concern that the rising cost of living was hurting the population, especially the working-class in Baku. The reports warn that the economic troubles could make Baku’s population support revolutionary forces. These warnings were gradually realized, especially following the Russian government’s decision in 1916 to divert the railways away from Baku city, resulting in rising food prices and shortages, and even hunger.
