| Note | "This article examines the introduction of zemstva into the North Caucasus province of Stavropol' before the outbreak of the war and peasant protest against these new institutions.The peasant protest of 1914, often violent and expressed in apocalyptic terms, seems to support historians' view that the rightward shift of zemstva after the revolution of 1905 and the failure fully to enfranchise peasants meant that local government had become increasingly irrelevant in the eyes of peasants who felt little connection to Russia's wider society and polity. Based on archival information, zemstva publications and a close reading of the local press, the article offers a detailed description of the protest and then examines what the Stavropol' zemstva did to make themselves relevant to peasants during the war. Specifically, it examines an ambitious programme of adult education (libraries, lectures, adult literacy classes) designed to meet peasant demand for information about World War One. The striking success of these wartime zemstvo programmes sheds new light on the role of local government, the history of education in Russia, peasant relations with local élites and with the professional intelligentsia, and the role of the war in accelerating the construction of new identities such as citizenship among Russian peasants." |
