Siberian Exile and the Invention of Revolutionary Russia, 18251917

Over the course of the nineteenth century Siberia developed a fearsome reputation as a place of exile, often imagined as a vast penal colony and seen as a symbol of the iniquities of autocratic and totalitarian Tsarist rule. This book examines how Siberias reputation came about and discusses the effects of this reputation in turning opinion, especially in Western countries, against the Tsarist regime and in giving rise to considerable sympathy for Russian radicals and revolutionaries. It considers the writings and propaganda of a large number of different migr groups, explores American and British journalists investigations and expos press articles, and charts the rise of the idea of Russian political prisoners as revolutionary and reformist heroes. Overall, the book demonstrates how important representations of Siberian exile were in shaping Western responses to the Russian Revolution.

Ben Phillips is Lecturer in Russian in the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures at the University of Exeter.

Acknowledgements

This book has been several years in the making, and the many personal and professional debts I have incurred in that time cannot adequately be settled in writing here. It started life as a PhD thesis written at the School of Slavonic & East European Studies, University College London (UCL SSEES), and generously funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, in the years 20122016. AHRC funding also allowed me to spend four invaluable months doing research at the Library of Congress, a trip that yielded much of the material for ; further research trips to Russia were funded by UCL and by the Centre for East European Language-Based Area Studies (CEELBAS). I am grateful to these organizations for funding my research, and to the libraries and archives in which that research was conducted: particular thanks are due to Nina Abdulaeva and Aleksei Trefakhin of the State Archive of the Russian Federation (GARF), and to the staff of the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art (RGALI), the Library of Congress Manuscripts Division, the British Library, the International Institute for Social History and last but by no means least the SSEES librarians for their unfailing good humour and indefatigable efforts in retrieving obscure items from the stores. Not one fine for a long-overdue book was waived in vain.

Many individuals have contributed to this book at different times and in a myriad of ways. Among my colleagues in the field, I am especially grateful to Alison Rowley, Sarah Badcock, Simon Dixon, Vera Tolz, George Gilbert, Mark Vincent, Matt Rendle, Katya Rogatchevskaia, Bob Henderson and Mikhail Nakonechnyi for the support (both direct and indirect) they have lent the project over time; to Jeremy Hicks for many engaging conversations over pirozhki in the GARF courtyard in the summer of 2019; and to Sarah Young and Wendy Bracewell for supervising the PhD thesis on which the book builds. A further note of thanks is due to Michael Ledger-Lomas, who some ten years ago supervised the MPhil dissertation whence my initial interest in Victorian perceptions of Russia (and Siberia), and thus my PhD project, grew. My editor at Routledge, Peter Sowden, has been a source of sound advice and good judgement in seeing the project through from beginning to end. To my Russianist colleagues at the University of Exeter, Katharine Hodgson, Emily Lygo, Muireann Maguire, Yuliya Kostyuk and Cathy McAteer, I am grateful for the supportive and collegial working environment in which the book was finished. It goes, of course, without saying that any remaining errors or oversights are mine alone.
