Lohr E., Poe M. (ed.) The Military and Society in Russia, 1450-1917

2nd ed. — Leiden — Boston — Köln: Brill, 2002. — 550 p. — (History of Warfare, ISSN: 1385-7827, Vol. 14). — ISBN: 978-90-04-12273-4.Throughout Russian history, the army has played a vital role as a catalyst of historical development and social change. While the history of battles, strategy, and the army as an institution have all received a fair amount of attention from historians, the kind of sustained research and discussion of the relationships between the army and society evident in the historiographies of other countries has been lacking for the Russian case. This volume brings together new research and essays addressing this broad theme in Russian history.
The contributions address such persistent questions in Russian history as the interrelationships between war and military change on the one hand and social, political and economic change on the other. Individual authors assess the cultural and social role of the officer corps, the mobilization of resources for the military, the politics of defense spending, and the social aspects of military campaigns. A third of the papers focus on issues of nationalism, religion and patriotism that have moved to the center of contemporary debate about Russia, but have received remarkably scant attention in previous scholarship on the Russian military and society.The Military and Society in Muscovy
