Last year marked the centennial of the 1917 February Revolution. Throughout the intervening century, it has been overshadowed by the October coup, a testament, in part, to the incommensurable quantitative gap in favor of the latter when it came to research and documentary publications. This situation has begun to change only in the past two decades, when there was a marked trend toward renewed scholarly and public interest in the history of February (Pushkaeva, 2002) and quite a few foundational monographic studies, collections of articles, and documentary publications devoted to this event came out. Dozens of international and Russian scholarly conferences were also held and, of course, made a significant contribution to the development of a wide range of scholarly questions.

Major anniversaries of defining moments in history provide unique opportunities for governments, historians, and the public to revisit popular narratives, often resulting in their revision, modification, or even rejection, which reflect the climate of the times. On the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution in 1889, for instance, the French erected the Eiffel Tower, one of the world’s most renowned landmarks, in a political environment that sought to legitimate the values of the Third Republic. A hundred years later, the glass and metal Louvre Pyramid, which serves as the main entrance to the Louvre Museum, opened. It, too, became a landmark of the city of Paris but in a strikingly different political climate in which politics had shifted to the center and right and some major historians questioned the results of the French Revolution. How has Russia commemorated the centennial of its equally consequential revolution? The journal Kritika: Explorations in Russian and Eurasian History launched the conversation on this question with a forum, “State of the Field: 1917 on the Eve of the Centenary,” published in the fall 2015 issue of the journal, including reflections by historians S. A. Smith, Boris Kolonitskii (Kolonitsky), and Liudmila Novikova, and a reaction piece that I wrote. As Kolonitskii observed, despite the historiographical trend in both Western and some Russian scholarship to view the 1914–1922 period as a “continuum of crisis,” in historian Peter Holquist’s felicitous formulation, already by 2015 the politics of memory in Russia following the centenary of
历史上决定性时刻的重大纪念日为政府、历史学家和公众提供了重新审视流行叙事的独特机会,通常会导致它们的修订、修改甚至拒绝,这反映了时代的气候。例如,在1889年法国大革命100周年之际,法国人在试图使第三共和国的价值观合法化的政治环境中建造了世界上最著名的地标之一埃菲尔铁塔。一百年后,作为卢浮宫博物馆主要入口的玻璃和金属卢浮宫金字塔开放了。它也成为了巴黎市的一个地标,但在一个截然不同的政治气候中,政治转向了中间派和右翼,一些主要历史学家对法国大革命的结果提出了质疑。俄罗斯是如何纪念其同样重要的革命一百周年的?《克里提卡:俄罗斯和欧亚历史的探索》(Kritika:Explorations in Russian and Eurasian History)杂志在该杂志2015年秋季号上发表了一个论坛,题为“实地状况:百年前夜的1917”,其中包括历史学家S.a.Smith、Boris Kolonitskii(Kolonitsky)和Liudmila Novikova的反思,以及我写的一篇反应文章。正如Kolonitskii所观察到的,尽管西方和一些俄罗斯学术界都有将1914年至1922年时期视为“危机的连续体”的历史趋势,但历史学家彼得·霍尔奎斯特(Peter Holquist)的恰当表述表明,到2015年

One certainty is that the emergence of new approaches to studying the 1917 Russian Revolution will be determined not solely by the current historiographic situation but also by society’s expectations. For several years now, foreign colleagues have been asking: “How are people in Russia planning to mark the revolution’s centennial? How are they proposing to organize celebrations of the anniversary?” I usually laughed off the question, recalling the famous phrase about the “country with an unpredictable past.” Still, I did have some basis for making predictions (Kolonitskii, 2017). Not all of my assumptions proved correct, but some tendencies were easy to foresee. After all, politicians and public figures, writers and scholars, journalists and filmmakers all have rather limited financial and organizational resources for holding anniversary events, and the pool of qualified specialists needed to stage celebrations is rather small. Furthermore, the main participants in this process are constrained by their own past statements and actions. There are famous cases, of course, where commentators and even historians

Первая мировая война стала прологом Великой российской революции 1917 г., коренным образом изменила европейский государственно-политический ландшафт в целом, определила системные изменения в социальных, экономических, политических институтах и отношениях, масштабные сдвиги в интеллектуальном и культурном пространствах.

In recent years, historians have been studying the political mood and tendencies of early-twentieth-century Old Believer communities. Some researchers support the mythologized idea that Old Believers were largely sympathetic toward the revolution (Shakhnazarov, 2002, 2004, 2007; Pyzhikov, 2013, Taranets, 2010). However, most scholars maintain that there was not a great deal of opposition to the tsarist regime among Old Believers (Seleznev, 2005, 2014; Red’kina, 2003; Latypov, 2011, among others), and argue that the largest confessions and their leaders “were closely aligned with rightwing and, in some cases, centrist parties” (Borovik, 2003, p. 20; Red’kina, 2012a, p. 17; Moniakova, 2007). On the other hand, even before the April 17, 1905, religious tolerance ukaz was issued, the internal affairs minister, Prince P.D. SviatopolkMirsky, assured Old Believers that the emperor “loved” them (Trudy Shestogo Vserossiiskogo s”ezda staroobriadtsev, 1905, p. 49). In an April 16, 1905, telegram to Moscow’s governor general, Nicholas II himself expressed “trust and heartfelt goodwill toward Old Believers, long known for their unwavering devotion to the throne” (quoted from Makarov, 1998, p. 37).
