That Savage Gaze explores the significance of wolves in pre-revolutionary Russia utilizing the perspectives of cultural studies, ecocriticism, and human-animal studies. It examines the ways in which hunters, writers, conservationists, members of animal protection societies, scientists, doctors, government officials and others contested Russia's "Wolf Problem" and the particular threat posed by rabid wolves. It elucidates the ways in which wolves became intertwined with Russian identity both domestically and abroad. It argues that wolves played a foundational role in Russians' conceptions of the natural world in ways that reverberated throughout Russian society, providing insights into broader aspects of Russian culture and history as well as the opportunities and challenges that modernity posed for the Russian empire. 410 0$aUnknown nineteenth century. 606 $aGray wolf$zRussia$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aGray wolf$xControl$xSocial aspects$zRussia$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aRussian literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 610 $aBorzois. 610 $aEcocriticism. 610 $aHistory of medicine. 610 $aHuman-animal studies. 610 $aHunting. 610 $aRabies. 610 $aRussia. 610 $aWolves. 615 0$aGray wolf$xHistory 615 0$aGray wolf$xControl$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aRussian literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a599.773 700 $aHelfant$b Ian M., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$01666640 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826601303321 996 $aThat Savage Gaze$94026001 997 $aUNINA
