  • Chapter 18 - Fin de Siècle

  • from Part III - Culture
  • Edited by Yuri Corrigan, Boston University
  • Book: Chekhov in Context
  • Published online: 16 February 2023

  • Summary

    Though Chekhov died just before the full-blown fin-de-siècle mood burst forth in Russia around the time of the first revolution in 1905, Mark Steinberg locates Chekhov within a first-wave fin de siècle following the regicide of Alexander II, and depicts Chekhov’s own searching agnostic temperament as symptomatic of this cultural moment, with its heightened anxieties concerning the ailments of modernity and its renewed interest in the concept of personality (or lichnost’) as an antidote.

  • 2 - Russia’s fin de siècle, 1900–1914

  • from Part I - Russia and the Soviet Union: The Story through Time
  • Edited by Ronald Grigor Suny
  • Book: The Cambridge History of Russia
  • Published online: 28 March 2008
  • Print publication: 02 November 2006, pp 65-93

  • Summary

    The critical years from the turn of the century to the eve of the First World War were a time of uncertainty and crisis for Russia's old political, social and cultural order. The year 1904 saw the start of the Russo-Japanese war, a disastrous conflict sparked by Russia's expansion into China and Korea in the face of Japan's own regional desires, further fuelled by Russian over confidence and racist contempt for the Japanese. Marxists believed they possessed a more scientific and rationalistic understanding of society and history. Marxists tended to take an essentialist view of the proletariat: this was the class destined by the logic of history to emancipate humanity from injustice and oppression. The sense of crisis and opportunity that marked so much of the Russian fin de siècle was evident in the experience of being a non-Russian subject of Russian empire, as well as in state policy towards the nationalities problem.

  • We construct the freest idempotent-pure expansion of an inverse semigroup, generalizing an expansion of Margolis and Meakin for the group case. We also generalize the Birget-Rhodes prefix expansion to inverse semigroups with an application to partial actions of inverse semigroups. In the process of generalizing the latter expansion, we are led to a new class of idempotent-pure homomorphisms which we term F-morphisms. These play the same role in the theory of idempotent-pure homomorphisms that F-inverse monoids play in the theory of E-unitary inverse semigroups.
