Historical Studies on Russian Politics and Culture during the Period between the Wold Wars

这一研究有两个特点：一是把苏联历史放在两次世界大战之间的框架内进行研究，可以对苏联历史有一个新的认识。例如，第一次世界大战期间的经历和全面战争时代的思想对俄国革命后苏维埃制度的形成过程产生了重大影响，这一点变得特别明显。20世纪30年代苏联政治经济体制的形成也与世界大战的威胁和战时政权的转型密切相关。这些问题都是在文化和政治学科中进行研究的。第二，从多方面、多角度研究苏维埃社会主义制度。我们在语言学、哲学、政治学、经济学、史学、文学、文化研究和艺术等领域都取得了许多成果，例如，在20世纪30年代斯大林主义制度的政治语境中，对曼德尔·施塔姆和艾森施泰因等艺术家的作品和态度进行了充分的分析。通过对苏维埃社会结构和社会意识的分析，研究“苏维埃爱国主义”的起源和意义，有助于我们了解30年代后半期斯大林主义制度的实际情况。此外，通过分析20世纪90年代“欧亚派”或俄罗斯民族主义者的历史观，我们不仅在苏联历史领域，而且在当代俄罗斯的意识形态和思想方面也取得了许多有益的成果。

There are two characteristic points in this research.Firstly, studying Soviet History within the framework of the period between the World Wars, we can present a new vision of it. For example, it became concretely clear that experiences during the First World War and thoughts in the age of a total war had had great influences on the process of making the Soviet system after the Russian Revolution. Formation of the Soviet political and economic system in 1930s was also closely connected with the menace of the world war and the transformation to the wartime regime. These problems are studied in the subjects of culture and politics.Secondly, the Soviet Socialist system is studied from various aspects and angles. We got a lot of results in the fields of linguistics, philosophy, politics, economics, historical science, literature, cultural studies and arts.For example, works and attitudes of artists, such as Mandel'shtam and Eizenshtein are sufficiently analyzed in the political context of Stalinist system in 1930s. Studies on origins and meanings of the "Soviet patriotism" through analysis of the social structure and the social consciousness in the Soviet Uuion helped us to understand actual situations of Stalinist system in the latter half of 1930s.In addition to these points, we got many useful results not only in the field of Soviet history but also in ideologies and thoughts of present Russia by analyzing historical view points of the "eurasians" or the Russian nationalists in 1990s.
