Russia’s First Civil War

Russia’s First Civil War

Chester S. L. Dunning

Pennsylvania State University Press
2001
sidottu
The Time of Troubles was a period of great upheaval in Russian history. It began when the ancient ruling dynasty died out in 1598 and Boris Godunov defeated rival boyars to become the tsar. For more than a decade thereafter, Russia was plagued by dynastic struggle, devastating famine, widespread uprisings, and invasion by Polish and Swedish armies. The Time of Troubles finally ended in 1613 with the establishment of the Romanovs as the ruling dynasty. Russia's state crisis had been so severe that it nearly destroyed the country and seriously delayed its emergence as a great power. Ever since then the Time of Troubles has occupied a unique place in Russia's collective memory. Russia's First Civil War is the first major post-Marxist reassessment of the Time of Troubles and the first detailed study of that tragic era in English. Historians have long misinterpreted popular uprisings during the Times of Troubles as the first social revolution of the Russian masses against serfdom. Dunning overturns this view and demonstrates that at the heart of the "Troubles" was a long and extremely violent civil war that divided Russian society vertically instead of horizontally. He shows that serfs did not actively participate in the civil war and that the abolition of serfdom was never a rebel goal. Instead, most rebels were petty gentry, professional soldiers, townsmen, and cossacks who were united in fierce opposition to tsars they believed to be illegitimate usurpers. Based upon exhaustive research, Russia's First Civil War is a masterful mix of social and military history, firmly placing the Time of Troubles in the context of the waves of wars and rebellions that swept through early modern Europe and Asia.

Are you confused about why your life has gone in the direction that it has? Are you unsure about what God desires from you and what you are supposed to be doing for Him? In Pastor Alan L.Chester's Understanding the Will of God for Your Life, he shares life changing concepts that deter the people of God from living in ignorance or uncertainty. So many Christians attend church services and don't even know the God they've come to worship, nor do they know the expectations that God has on their lives. Within the covers of this book. God reveals Himself and His desire for His people to know His divine will and purpose for their life. After God walks you through these pages, you will no longer live life as a guessing game, but you will understand what the will of the Lord is for you

Failing Our Brightest Kids

Failing Our Brightest Kids

Chester E. Finn Jr; Brandon L. Wright

Harvard Educational Publishing Group
2015
nidottu
In this provocative volume, Chester E. Finn, Jr., and Brandon L. Wright argue that, for decades, the United States has done too little to focus on educating students to achieve at high levels. The authors identify two core problems: First, compared to other countries, the United States does not produce enough high achievers. Second, students from disadvantaged backgrounds are severely underrepresented among those high achievers. The authors describe educating students to high levels of achievement as an issue of both equity and human capital: talented students deserve appropriate resources and attention, and the nation needs to develop these students’ abilities to remain competitive in the international arena.The authors embark on a study of twelve countries and regions to address these issues, exploring the structures and practices that enable some countries to produce a higher proportion of high-achieving students than the United States and to more equitably represent disadvantaged students amongtheir top scorers. Based on this research, the authors present a series of ambitious but pragmatic points that they believe should inform US policy in this area.This candid and engaging book takes a topic that is largely discussed behind closed doors and puts it squarely on the table for public debate.
