The Russian Revolution and Global Empires, or Global Revolution and the Russian Empire?

The Russian Revolution and Global Empires, or Global Revolution and the Russian Empire?

Abstract

Jeremy Adelman, who coined the concept and the model of “imperial revolution,” reflects on Ilya Gerasimov’s rendering of the 1917 Russian Revolution as an imperial revolution. He draws important parallels between the revolutionary events in Russia and the crisis of the overseas Iberian empires a century earlier. Adelman suggests that seeing empire as a type of social imagery sustaining a particular mode of legitimacy, rather than a rigid structure, allows us to transcend the structuralist dichotomy between nation and empire. He also proposes approaching the phenomenon of global revolutions as part of the wider system of the interimperial regime. Резюме: Aвтор концепции и модели “имперской революции” Джереми Эдел-ман делится своими мыслями в связи с предложением Ильи Герасимова рассматривать революцию 1917 г. как имперскую революцию. Он об-наруживает существенные параллели между революционными собы-тиями в России и кризисом заморских иберийских империй столетием ранее. Эделман считает, что подход к империи как к определенному типу социального воображения, поддерживающего особый модус ле-гитимности, а не как к политической системе, позволяет преодолеть структуралистскую дихотомию между нацией и империей. Он также предлагает поместить феномен глобальных революций в более широ-кий трансимперский контекст.
