Subject:rus-nat: Relaunch/Relance/Vozrozhdenie
Dear colleagues,
After a promising start, rus-nat, our Russian-English-French discussion list on Russian nationalism, went the way of many academic lists : discussion faded off and the list became silent. Technical problems played a part in this : some people had difficulties reading encodings used by their colleagues, and at some point I (the listowner) stopped receiving messages from the list.
Still, given the list's multi-disciplinary, international membership, I believe it can be very useful for an exchange of information and views and to encourage research. I propose to revive it, very modestly, simply by posting bibliographic information and links to interesting web-based sources, hoping that debate will ensue at some point.
I will try to do my best to solve technical and translation problems as they come up -- please contact me directly (mischa@clubrussia.org) if you have a specific query or request.
You may view the list's archives at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/rus-nat.html. Please also use that page for unsubscription and other operations.
The last discussions on the list featured Alexander Verkhovsky's thoughts on how to present links to extremists' web pages (see www.panorama.ru/works/patr/extr.html), and a polemic about the writings of Raddai Raikhlin (see http://www.israel.net/raikhlin and http://raikhlin.h1.ru).
Among recent books relevant to our topic, I''ll arbitrarily mention three Russian titles:
Andrej Zorin, Kormya dvuglavogo orla, Moscow, Novoe literaturnoe obozrenie, 2001
D.A. Kocyubinskij, Russkij nacionalizm v nachale XX stoletiya, Moscow, ROSSPEN, 2001
Vladimir Malakhov, Skromnoe obayanie rasizma, Moscow, Dom intellektual’noj knigi i Modest Kolerov, 2001
Would anyone be interested in reviewing one of these books for our list ?
(I am prepared to translate the review into the two other languages represented.)
I'd also welcome a report about relevant discussions at last year's AAASS congress.
Waiting for your comments and suggestions,
Mischa Gabowitsch, Moscow/Paris, listowner
