“Revolutions,” contends Jane K. Sather Professor of History Yuri Slezkine, “devour their parents: they begin as tragedy and end at home.” In his 2014 Bernard Moses Memorial Lecture, the distinguished and innovative UC Berkeley historian will frame the Bolshevik Revolution as a family drama by considering the private lives of government officials, along with their wives, maids, lovers, children, and comrades. By centering the cultural and political upset of revolution within domestic space, he will reimagine the story of the Bolsheviks’ rise
Slezkine’s work focuses on the early years of the Soviet Union. This lecture follows on Slezkine’s work as translator and coeditor, with Sheila Fitzpatrick, of In the Shadow of Revolution: Life Stories of Russian Women from 1917 to the Second World War, which reexamines the societal upheavals of those years through the lens of Soviet women’s autobiographical writings, oral testimonies, and private documents.
