Investigating Modernity Through the Lens of a Recreation Venue: Pleasure Gardens in Late Imperial St. Petersburg and Moscow
Popular Entertainment Studies. 2017. Vol. 8. No. 2. P. 38–53.
This article investigates aspects of modernity through a study of pleasure gardens in St. Petersburg and Moscow in the late nineteenthand early twentiethcenturies. Russian pleasure gardens, being mere imitations of the English venues, reflect how western ideas connected to entertainment were modified, enriched with local features and used for wider purposes. This study argues that pleasure gardens were translators of a developing mass culture, providing facilities for testing new technology and leisure practices, and were also indicators of cultural changes which were experienced by an urban population in the late-ImperialRussia.Svetlana Ryabovaholds a Ph. D. from Moscow State University and is a Senior Lecturer in the Higher School of Economicsin Moscow. She has a particular interest in social and cultural history.

В статье рассматривается председатель Думы как политический институт, который
заметно эволюционировал вместе со всей политической системы Российской
империи. Отчасти это объясняется поступательным расширением полномочий
Думы, отчасти личными качествами председателей и той партийной поддержкой,
на которую они могли рассчитывать. Так или иначе, в условиях неустойчивости
правил игры, рыхлости фракционных структур председатель обретал широкий
круг полномочий, что делало его весьма влиятельной фигурой в ...
