Here one of the foremost scholars of early modern Russia explores the intricate and highly stylized codes that made up this culture. Nancy Shields Kollmann describes how these codes were manipulated to construct identity and enforce social norms--and also to defend against insults, to pursue vendettas, and to unsettle communities. She offers evidence for a new view of the relationship of state and society in the Russian empire, and her richly comparative approach enhances knowledge of statebuilding in premodern Europe. By presenting Muscovite state and society in the context of medieval and early modern Europe, she exposes similarities that blur long-standing distinctions between Russian and European history.Through the prism of honor, Kollmann examines the interaction of the Russian state and its people in regulating social relations and defining an individual's rank. She finds vital information in a collection of transcripts of legal suits brought by elites and peasants alike to avenge insult to honor. The cases make clear the conservative role honor played in society as well as the ability of men and women to employ this body of ideas to address their relations with one another and with the state. Kollmann demonstrates that the grand princes-and later the tsars-tolerated a surprising degree of local autonomy throughout their rapidly expanding realm. Her work marks a stark contrast with traditional Russian historiography, which exaggerates the power of the state and downplays the volition of society. 606 $aHonor$zRussia$xHistory 606 $aLibel and slander$zRussia$xHistory 606 $aCourts of honor$zRussia$xHistory 610 $aPatriarchy 610 $aMuscovy 610 $alitigation 610 $aculture of honor 610 $aMuscovite 610 $astrategies of integration 610 $aabsolutist state 610 $aEuropean history 610 $aearly modern Russia 615 0$aHonor$xHistory. 615 0$aLibel and slander$xHistory. 615 0$aCourts of honor$xHistory. 676 $a345.47/0256 700 $aKollmann$b Nancy Shields$f1950-$01024306 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136646603321 996 $aBy Honor Bound$92434252 997 $aUNINA
