This comprehensive book delves into the profound rhetorical impact of specific keywords in the discourses of Russian state, political thought, and literature. It explores how terms such as "cultured conduct" (kulturnost), "political affection" (love, liubov, joy-radost, etc.), "personhood" (lichnost), "truth" (pravda), and "geographical integrity" (tselnost) assumed almost sacred significance. The author examines how these terms gained autonomy, imposing the designs of the Russian state and shaping the aspirations of educated society. By examining their usage across a diverse range of texts, Richard Wortman offers insightful glimpses into the ideas and emotions of prominent figures and thinkers in Russian history, spanning from Peter the Great to Alexander Herzen and Nicholas Berdiaev, as well as renowned writers like Mikhail Lermontov, Ivan Turgenev, and Fedor Dostoevsky. Through this exploration, the reader gains a profound understanding of the intellectual and emotional universe inhabited by these influential individuals.
The Power of Language and Rhetoric in Russian Political History serves as a valuable resource for students and scholars seeking to delve deeper into Russian culture and history. It offers a focused approach that enables a comprehensive understanding of the role of language and rhetoric in shaping Russian political discourse. This book is particularly essential for those studying Russian government, thought, literature, and political action, providing a comprehensive foundation for further exploration and analysis.
