Through a series of rich case studies, the editors reconstruct the social group's worldview, complex identities, conflicting loyalties, and evolving habits. The studies explore the institutions that shaped these nobles, their attitude to state service, the changing patterns of their family life, their emotional world, religious beliefs, and sense of time.The creation of a Europeanized elite in Russia was a state-initiated project that aimed to overcome the presumed "backwardness" of the country. The evolution of this social group in its relations to political authority provides insight into the fraught identity of a country developing on the geopolitical periphery of Europe. In contrast to postcolonial studies that explore the imposition of political, social, and cultural structures on colonized societies, this multidisciplinary volume explores the patterns of behavior and emotion that emerge from the processes of self-Europeanization. The Europeanized Elite in Russia, 1762?1825, will appeal to scholars and general readers interested in Russian history and culture, particularly in light of current political debates about globalization and widening social inequality in Europe.   606 $aElite (Social sciences)$zRussia$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aRussia$xSocial conditions$y18th century 607 $aRussia$xSocial conditions$y19th century 607 $aRussia$xRelations$zEurope 607 $aEurope$xRelations$zRussia 610 $apostcolonial studies, geopolitical periphery, globalization. 615 0$aElite (Social sciences)$xHistory 676 $a305.520947 702 $aScho?nle$b Andreas 702 $aZorin$b A.
