Texto completoThe present work places the magnifying glass on the artistic and cultural relations between the Republic of Venice and the Russian Empire in the eighteenth century, highlighting the presence of Venetian painting in St. Petersburg. The consolidation of ties with Venice, initiated in the era of Peter the Great, had allowed Venetian painting to 'expand' to the banks of the city on the Neva river. In the 1720s the first Venetian painter to arrive in Russia was Bartolomeo Tarsia, while it was necessary to wait for the reign of Elisabetta Petrovna, daughter of Tsar Pietro, to see a large number of Venetian artists at work at the same time: Giuseppe Valeriani, Antonio Peresinotti, Pietro and Francesco Gradizzi, Francesco Fontebasso, Pietro Rotari, Andrea Urbani and Carlo Zucchi. First of all, the living and working conditions of Venetian painters in St. Petersburg were investigated, with particular attention paid to engagements, privileges and interpersonal relations. Subsequently, the decorative activity within the sumptuous imperial residences, such as the Winter Palaces, the Summer Palaces, the Catherine Palace in Tsarskoe Selo and the Peterhof Palace, were examined on one hand, while on the other hand, the teaching in the largest institutions of artistic education in Russia at the time. The biographical profiles of Diego Bodissoni, Giuseppe Dall'Oglio and Pano Maruzzi were also outlined, active as intermediaries and art dealers, who have the merit of having favoured the arrival of paintings of the Venetian school in St. Petersburg.

Texto completoGregg, Amanda Grace. "Factory Productivity, Firm Organization, and Corporation Reform in Late Imperial Russia". Thesis, Yale University, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3663480.
Texto completoThis dissertation shows how firm organization affected factory performance in the Russian Empire. The first chapter documents the impact of incorporation on firms' production technology and productivity. The second chapter studies the effect of a change in Russia's commercial code in 1901, a reform that improved the rights of small corporate shareholders. In the third chapter, I show how geography and legal forms of organization determined horizontal and vertical integration in the Russian cotton textile industry. The dataset at the heart of the project allows for a rare empirical study of the effect of organization on production at the factory level.
Chapter 1: Factory Productivity and the Concession System of Incorporation in Late Imperial Russia, 1894-1908 In late Imperial Russia, long-term capital was scarce. Incorporation in the Russian Empire required a time-consuming and expensive Imperial concession, yet over four thousand Russian firms incorporated before 1914. I identify the characteristics of firms that chose to incorporate and measure the gains in productivity and growth in machine power enjoyed by corporations using a newly-constructed panel database of manufacturing enterprises I compiled from Imperial Russian factory censuses conducted in 1894, 1900, and 1908. Factories owned by corporations were larger, more productive, and grew faster. Higher productivity factories were more likely to incorporate, and after incorporating, they added machine power and became even more productive. Results from an instrumental variables regression suggest that selection into incorporation was not determined solely by productivity and could be influenced, for example, by connections to government officials. Comparing two kinds of corporations shows that firms sought not just access to stock markets but the corporate form's full set of capital advantages.
Chapter 2: Shareholder Rights and Share Capital: The Effect of the 1901 Russian Corporation Reform, 1890-1905 The Russian 1901 corporation reform increased the rights of small shareholders and removed bankers from corporations' boards of directors. The reform affected one type of corporation (the A-Corporation) more than another type (called the Share Partnership) because one provision of the law created a loophole for Share Partnerships. I thus apply a differences-in-differences approach, studying the differences in corporations of these groups founded before vs. after the reform. The RUSCORP Database (Owen 1990) provides initial charter information from all Russian corporations and from all surviving Russian corporations in 1905. I find that, in response the reform, A-Corporations increased the par value of their shares, reduced their total capitalization, and reduced the number of shares they issued. The reform increased the cost to the firm of having small shareholders; thus, corporations affected by the reform began to resemble the more closely held Share Partnerships.
Chapter 3: Vertical and Horizontal Integration in Imperial Russian Cotton Textiles, 1894-1900 When do firms produce their own inputs instead of purchasing them on the market? In one explanation firms engage in vertical integration to save the cost of transacting on the market, especially when markets are thinner and therefore price risk is greater (Coase 1937). On the other hand, firms that wish to vertically or horizontally integrate may be unable to do if they face financial constraints, because integration requires additional capital. In the third chapter, I find evidence for a thin markets explanation of integration within the Russian cotton textile industry in 1894 and 1900. The 1894 data provide especially rich information on firms' horizontal and vertical integration: the data list a complete description of each factory's internal activities and final products. Both vertically and horizontally integrated factories and firms were larger in terms of number of workers and tended to be located outside of European Russia, where markets were thinner. Vertically integrated firms were older, had more workers and machine power, and produced more revenue per worker given the same machine power. Corporations produced more revenue per worker than non-corporations, even controlling for vertical integration.
Data Appendix: Imperial Russian Manufacturing Establishments Database: 1894, 1900, and 1908 The dissertation includes an appendix in which I describe the formation of a new database of manufacturing establishments in the Russian Empire based on manufacturing censuses conducted in 1894, 1900, and 1908. The database will allow for new studies of the Russian economy and of factory performance in developing economies. This appendix provides a codebook with variable definitions and a description of the censuses' sampling frame. The database matches factories over time, so I include an analysis comparing matched to unmatched factories. Finally, I describe differences in results that use the enterprise-level data and the aggregate data.

Texto completoBallet music is an important genre of the canon of Western Classical Music. Composers and choreographers have collaborated on large-scale productions since the sixteenth century, but it was in the late nineteenth century that the art of ballet rose to unprecedented heights with the work of Marius Petipa. Petipa’s collaboration with specialist composers of ballet music had important consequences for the genre going into the twentieth century. As Petipa worked with these specialists, including Ludwig Minkus and Riccardo Drigo, the relationship of dance and music in ballet evolved from a hierarchical relationship (dance over music) to a more equal pairing. This evolution correlates to the changing cultural and political tides of St. Petersburg from the Great Reforms in the 1860s to the October Revolution in 1905. In the 1890s and early 1900s, Petipa collaborated with more established Russian composers, including Peter I. Tchaikovsky, Alexander K. Glazunov, and Arseny N. Koreshchenko. This project considers several ballets by these composers, analyzing various Adagio movements from these works to show how ballet composing was approached first by ballet specialists and subsequently by symphonic composers. These dances are examined within the context of the Grand Ballets they come from as well as from a cultural and historical perspective.

This dissertation examines the shifting patterns of naval reform and the implementation of foreign technology in the Russian Empire and Soviet Union from Alexander III’s ascension to the Imperial throne in 1881 up to the outset of Operation Barbarossa in 1941. During this period, neither the Russian Imperial Fleet nor the Red Navy had a coherent, overall strategic plan. Instead, the expansion and modernization of the fleet was left largely to the whims of the ruler or his chosen representative. The Russian Imperial period, prior to the Russo-Japanese War, was characterized by the overbearing influence of General Admiral Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich, who haphazardly directed acquisition efforts and systematically opposed efforts to deal with the potential threat that Japan posed. The Russo-Japanese War and subsequent downfall of the Grand Duke forced Emperor Nicholas II to assert his own opinions, which vacillated between a coastal defense navy and a powerful battleship-centered navy superior to the one at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. In the Soviet era, the dominant trend was benign neglect, as the Red Navy enjoyed relative autonomy for most of the 1920s, even as the Kronstadt Rebellion of 1921 ended the Red Navy’s independence from the Red Army. M. V. Frunze, the People’s Commissar of the Army of Navy for eighteen months in 1925 and 1926, shifted the navy from the vaguely Mahanian theoretical traditions of the past to a modern, proletarian vision of a navy devoted to joint actions with the army and a fleet composed mainly of submarines and light surface vessels. As in the Imperial period, these were general guidelines rather than an all-encompassing policy. The pattern of benign neglect was shattered only in 1935, when Stalin unilaterally imposed his own designs for a mighty offensive fleet on the Soviet military, a plan that was only interrupted by the outbreak of World War II.

Texto completoThis investigation aims to comprehend the motivations, ideas and strategies informing the different groups that had an important role in an armed mobilization that occurred in the province of Mato Grosso during the year of 1834. Initiated with the occupation of Cuiabá city barracks by the National Guard on the evening of May 30th, the so-called Rusga had as its main goal the murder of the Portuguese-born men living in the province. In order to understand the mobilization, the analysis starts with the study of the experience of the provisory juntas created in the province on the year of 1821, marking the beginning of an intense learning of politics under a liberal, constitutional and representative State. Acting in the new institutions, taking part in the public debate through the press and in the establishment and reiteration of clientelistic relations, the provinces leadership was divided by growing internal confrontation, a process that culminated in the formation of two opposed political fields. The thesis continues with the study of a sedition led by subordinate military men on December 7th 1831. The analysis focuses on the learning of politics, the political culture and the strategies of soldiers and lower-ranking officers with a past of insubordination that included at least fifteen revolts since 1821. In this process, the soldiers were able to directly interfere in the path of provincial politics through armed mobilization. Next, the study emphasizes the impact of the Abdication of Emperor d. Pedro I in the politics of Mato Grosso. In that context, mobilizations with diverse motivations and social compositions evoked the right of resistance and benefited from a considerable politicization to achieve their goals, appropriating the ideas that inspired the Abdication. In Mato Grosso, this period was marked by conflicts involving the expulsion and demobilization of troops, as well as the organization of a new party, aligned to the central government and that was capable of, in a single year, conquer majorities in almost all of the elective institutions in the province, ending the long-standing control of a small group of men over the local institutional politics. Finally, the investigation analyses the massacre occurred in the Rusga. The suspension of the rule of law in the province, as well the motivations, ideas and strategies of the persecutors of the Portuguese-born, primarily in the city of Cuiabá and, later, in the countryside, are the focus of this last session

Texto completos military doctrines. It is so obvious that the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the emrgence of Russia as an independent entity in the post-cold war era have compelled the Russian Federation to redefine its national interest. In this context it experienced a crisis of describing its identity and national interests in changing security environment. Although in the early years of Yeltsin it preferred close cooperation with the West then abandoned this approach. It was implied that some states and coalitions were still main threats to the security of the Russian Federation in the military doctrine and the near-abroad policy re-gained importance. In addition with the inauguration of Putin as the Russian President the reaction of the Russian Federation regarding both internal and external security issues displayed the growing significance of traditional interests and old-style security issues. Thus in this thesis it is asserted that the Russian Federation still tries to sustain its well-known traditional interests the classic Soviet style of security perception in the post-Cold War period. Therefore this study tries to explain this argument through examining the effects of its imperial past, transformation years and its situation in the new security environment of post-Cold War era under Yeltsin and Putin.
