Abstract:
This article will analyze how Ukrainians and Ukrainian-Americans sought diplomatic recognition of Ukraine by the United States between 1917 and 1941. It will explain why the U.S. government, despite its commitments to the principle of self-determination, did not recognize Ukrainian independence and why it extended diplomatic recognition to the Soviet Union in 1933 despite protests by Ukrainian- Americans about the terrible famine of 1932- 1933. Drawing on new research in the unu- tilized or underutilized papers of leading Ukrainian-Americans, the article will discuss their tactics and examine

This article offers an in-depth analysis of Soviet policy and diplomacy in the Far East during the tumultuous period spanning from the 1920s to the 1940s. These policies were profoundly shaped by two key factors: firstly, the ideological considerations rooted in the political framework established in the USSR following the 1917 revolution, and secondly, the geopolitical dynamics reflecting the evolving global and regional political landscape in the Far East. The ruling Bolshevik Party and the Soviet government faced formidable challenges as they sought to safeguard the nascent Soviet Republic

Abstract:
Interference of esotericism and politics became apparent especially in the 19th century when the early socialists expected the coming of the Age of Spirit, and narratives about secret wisdom being kept in mysterious sacred places became all the more popular. Thus, the idea of the Age of Enlightenment underwent transformation: the world will be saved not by ordinary knowledge but by some special secret wisdom. In this context, Helena Blavatsky (1831–1891) developed the doctrine of Theosophy the ideas of which were overtaken by the next-generation theosophists including also the Russian painter

It was to be a mouthpiece for German literature in exile and to promote the Popular Front policy, which sought to unite disparate elements in non-Fascist Europe in opposition to the Nazis.

Abstract:
Soviet Russia and Poland concluded the Peace of Riga in March 1921: Poland recognized Soviet Ukraine, but could keep Eastern Galicia and Western Volhynia. With this, the “Ukrainian revolution” ended, and the Peace of Riga buried Ukrainian aspirations for independence. This meant that the situation developed after the Treaty of Andrusovo in 1667 was repeated, since the Poles and the Russians – ignoring the interests of the Ukrainians – once again divided Ukraine between themselves. Ukrainian “revolutions” and Ukrainian efforts to establish statehood thus ended in failure. Between 1917–1920, the Ukrainians temporarily created sovereign “state initiatives,” but the territory of the Ukrainian People’s Republic was not precisely defined and was decreased gradually due to the constant attacks of the Red Army. It included only a part of Eastern Galicia with its capital, without Lviv (Lemberg). The successive governments were in power only for a short time, so they could not consolidate their government system. The fact that the national identity of the Eastern Ukrainians was weaker made it more difficult to achieve independence, which is why a unified position regarding the nature of the Ukrainian state could not be formed in the individual Ukrainian regions and among political parties. The military superiority of Poland and Soviet Russia, as well as the disinterest of the victorious Allies in the existence of a sovereign Ukraine during the First World War also contributed to all of this. In the end, just like in the 17–18th centuries, the development of the Ukrainian nation from 1921 again took place in the bonds of two states: within the Soviet Union and in the reborn Poland. The civil war finally confirmed the federal character of Ukraine, but in the end, in a “Soviet-style”.

Abstract:
Abstract Obsessed by statistical indicators of economic growth and unabashed in its disregard for the legal protections normally accorded people living in modern society, Stalin’s dictatorship emerged during the period when the United States withheld recognition from the USSR (1917-1933). These were the years of Soviet phantas-magoria. Cruelties inflicted on the peasantry by White and Red armies, policies of terror practiced by both sides in the civil war, levies on food in the years of War Communism, and epidemics of disease and famine in the early 1920s caused millions of fatalities and crippled the economy. To secure the population a respite and to pump up production (which by 1921 was a fraction of its pre-1914 level), Lenin inaugurated the New Economic Policy (NEP). It allowed for a modest system of private enterprise and spearheaded national recovery by 1926.>Communist party control of politics and the destruction to human values and lives caused by Felix Dzerzhinsky’s ubiquitous security police did not diminish, however. In the struggle for succession following Lenin’s death in January 1924, Stalin defeated by turns his rivals on the left (Trotsky), within the “new opposition” (Leo Kamenev and Gregory Zinoviev), and on the right (Nicholas Bukharin and Alexis Rykov). Such as it was, the NEP respite was (in effect) repealed by Stalin at the All Union Congress of the Communist party in December 1927. There followed the explosion of the First Five-Year Plan. The rapid industrialization, collectivization of agriculture, and decision to “squeeze” the countryside’s wealth to pay for machinery and foreign technology amounted to an attack by Stalin’s government on the population. This massive but lopsided contest between coercive state power and its subjects resulted in countless more fatalities and led to the incarceration, exile, and forced labor of millions of men and women.

Abstract:
Revolutionary events in Russia in 1917 led to a break in the relations between the Kingdom of Serbia and Russia. The diplomatic initiatives started immediately after the end of the First World War coincided with the aspirations of the Yugoslav kingdom to normalize relations with the largest and most important Slavic country and the eff orts of the revolutionary authorities of Russia to get out of their isolation and fight for their place in the international community. Although both sides shared the belief that there were no real political obstacles, this step was not taken. The reasons for such behaviour of the Yugoslav government and diplomacy were numerous. On the one hand, ideological rivalry and exclusivity, and on the other, observing the other side through the lens of ideological prejudices, led to the distancing of two extremely close political, military and economic areas. The Soviet determination for a world revolution, the demolition of the existing and the construction of a new social order clashed with the Yugoslav persistence in preserving the existing state. Negotiations on mutual recognition and the establishment of diplomatic relations, which were initiated several times, faced insurmountable difficulties, often related to the very set of international circumstances in which the Yugoslav-Soviet rapprochement would certainly threaten the fragile Yugoslav position and disturb its relations with its traditional allies. Although official recognition did not occur, it was carried out in practice through a series of public and secret bilateral contacts and the joint signing of a series of multilateral acts.

Abstract:
This chapter reviews the nature of the Russian polity in the early modern period and the nature and function of political thought within that polity. It looks at interpretations of the early modern period that became the subject of government supervision following the 1917 Revolution, which had the effect of imposing a crude Marxist framework on interpretations of Muscovite history and Muscovite political thought. It also cites texts on political subjects that were seen as products of a class war, chiefly between proponents of the centralizing government and supporters of a conservative boyar opposition. The chapter talks about historians in the West that oppose the formerly dominant image of an all-powerful government commanding a powerless, supine society. It analyses the cultural context for political thinking in Muscovy that was neglected by political necessity in the Soviet Union.

Abstract:
This essay analyses the distinctive effects of Marxist-Leninist ideology and Communist practice on states ruled by Communist parties and states with non-Communist or ‘bourgeois’ regimes. Communist regimes assert that they are historically destined to triumph over ‘capitalist’ and ‘imperialist’ governments. From 1917 to 1944, the Soviet Union was the sole Communist-governed state. Since 1944 there have been multiple Communist-ruled states. Such states generally have formal state-to-state relations in addition to Communist party-to-party relations. Non-Communist-ruled states may have oppositional relations with domestic and foreign Communist parties as well as formal relations with the foreign ministries of Communist-led states. The Communist Party of the Soviet Union has claimed that its decisions bind all Communist parties, but it has also accepted the primacy of a global gathering of Communist parties. Disputes among Communist parties over doctrine and interests that are theoretically congruent raise questions about the coherence of the ideology. Forming a Communist world-state to suppress national rivalries could offer a solution, but at the cost of abandoning national state sovereignties and the autonomy of specific Communist parties.
