- More than a decade in the making, this book adopts the novel concept of the ‘stenographic age’ to make an original argument about Russian political culture from the era of Nicholas II to that of Joseph Stalin. By focusing on the act and representation of public speaking, it offers a new perspective on Russia’s extended period of mobilization and modernization from the 1860s to the 1930s. It draws on very wide reading in the newspaper and journal press, on a variety of other published primary sources (especially memoirs) and on a number of archival sources.
