Russia Takes Shape: Patterns of Integration from the Middle Ages to the Present
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Sergei Bogatyrev, ed. Russia Takes Shape: Patterns of Integration from the Middle Ages to the Present. Suomalaisen Tiedeakatemian toimituksia / Annales Academiae Scientiarum Fennicae, Humaniora series, vol. 335. Helsinki: Gummerus, 2005. 289 pp. Paper.This fascinating collection of essays on centre-periphery relations during more than five hundred years of Russian history grew out of a research project, Challenge of Regionalism to the Russian Federation, directed by Jukka Korpela (University of Joensuu). Sergei Bogatyrev (University College London) edited the volume, which includes excellent, well-researched contributions by Korpela, Bogatyrev, Ouzel Ibneyeva (Kazan State University), Arto Luukkanen (University of Helsinki), Pekka Kauppala (University of Helsinki), and Hanna Smith (University of Helsinki). By focusing on relations between the centre and the regions of Russia and concentrating on the process of integration, these scholars have significantly advanced our understanding of how modern Russia took shape.In Saints and the Integration of Muscovy, Jukka Korpela examines how the Russian Orthodox Church used external threats, the canonization of regional holy figures, cults of saints and saintly rulers, and the idea of a powerful Orthodox Christian state to promote the ascendancy of and the unification of Russia. Korpela notes the similarity of these strategies to those employed by the Catholic Church but points out that the Russian Orthodox Church played a larger role as a unifying force (and for much longer) than did its counterpart in the West. The Russian Church not only helped legitimize the rising power of and its rulers but also provided ideological justification for the emerging Russian empire. Russia's pseudo-religious vision of itself managed to survive the Communist era and continues to act as a powerful integrating force in Russian society at the dawn of the twenty first century.In Localism and Integration in Muscovy Sergei Bogatyrev analyzes centre-periphery relations during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries by focusing on the role played by local administrators in the complex process of integrating diverse regions into the new Russian state. Sustained intervention (administrative, financial, economic, legal, cultural, and ideological) by the centre during the unification of Russia and the formation of the Russian empire caused profound changes at the regional level that significantly reshaped local institutions and identity. Bogatyrev's findings undermine traditional scholarship on Russian absolutism and regional history; but, as he correctly points out, they fit nicely into the new model of the fiscal-military state that is currently revolutionizing the comparative study of early modern Europe.Guzel Ibneyeva's Journey of Catherine II to the Baltic Lands in 1764 focuses on Catherine the Great's relatively unknown tour of Russia's Baltic territories early in her reign to gain insight into the development of the empress's approach to the integration of non-Russian regions into the Russian empire. …

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
