Abstract:This article offers the first scholarly overview of original and translated letter collections printed in eighteenth-century Russia. Through a close reading of the publication history, structure and paratexts of correspondence editions, it argues that the proliferation of such collections under Catherine the Great (1762–96) reflects an expanding definition of publicness and a related eagerness on the part of editors and translators to reconfigure relationships within the public. Editors widened state- and church-centred concepts of publicness to encompass an array of letter writers from cultural figures to ordinary citizens. Simultaneously, horizontal relationships of exchange between writers, editors, texts and readers came to rival vertical hierarchies in motivating and shaping epistolary publicity. A previously overlooked element in Catherinian print culture, letter collections provide unique insights into late eighteenth-century Russian thinking about what it meant to be (a) public.

Abstract:This article explores the phenomenon, causes and attempted solutions to the problem of poor restaurant service in the 1960s Soviet Union. It discusses the role of the restaurant in the dining options of the Soviet urban population, the organization of restaurants, the culture of service and the low status of the waitering trade and economic reforms. It also reconstructs the perspective of the Soviet waiters themselves to examine how they justified the behaviours decried by officials and customers. This exploration reveals a paradox between competing ideals of the 'good life': one of technologically driven satisfaction of biological needs, and the other of promotion of a psychologically rounded good life, in which the whole person merited respect. Lacking that respect and compensated with low wages, Soviet waiters responded with indifferent service.

Perhaps the most striking feature of this volume, however, is the note of hope it sounds, albeit cautiously, that might not have been struck had it gone to press a year later: hope in the vibrant contribution of Russian scholarship to the field, and in the capacity for Russia to, one day, come to terms with its past. Yet, perhaps this is a note we need to hold onto, just keeping it safe in a drawer for some day down the road.

Abstract:The article offers a detailed analysis of a sermon on the Intercession of the Theotokos preached in 1694 by Stefan Iavor'skyi to the nuns of the prestigious Ascension Convent in Kyiv, the sister house of the male Monastery of the Caves. The sermon places exceptional emphasis on clothing metaphors: because nuns wore special clothes that defined their identity, and textile production was considered emblematic of female and monastic virtue, I will use this observation to embark on an examination of the identity, intentions and anxieties of the audience, clarifying how gender and power relations motivated the production of a text that emphasized monastic values while negotiating clerical expectations for the nuns' lives and self-reflection.
