I was today years old when I learned that in German there’s an expression "08/15" (null-acht-fünfzehn) meaning "ordinary, mediocre, nothing special"

And it comes from the name of a standard German #WWI machine gun. Alright, makes sense

Soon. New book

The book "The Name of Discord: The Political Use of the Term "Civil War" (1917-1918)" will soon be published by the Novoe Literturnoe Obozrenie.

I was one of the editors of the collective monograph and wrote several chapters for it.

Hogging the blanckets of #RussianRevolution

Milyukov pulls toward “strengthening power” with whip and bayonet, Kerensky toward “strengthening freedom and revolution” outside, Lenin toward “deepening the revolution” everywhere. And the sweet German just offers his hand and heart.

A wonderful section by @profaks.bsky.social, Jennifer Keating and Sarah Badcock on internal migration and belonging in the late Russian Empire: peasants going to Gatchina, nomadic peoples moving around Central Asia and the beggers whose work was constantly on the move.
