Kazakh art style has been developing under the centuries being composed from the different elements of the different cultures and civilizations that our ancestors had absorbed while roaming from one place to another. That is why the classical Kazakh style includes several components of the neighboring cultures and it is really hard to make a strict distinction between them. All the traditional crafts were more or less influenced by the environmental impacts, religious themes etc. A lot of borrowed ideas had been transformed under the individual preferences of the Kazakh people and sometimes lost their original purpose. Having observed the traditional art style of any nation it could be seen the unique peculiarities and features of

    Many historians argue The Emancipation of the Serfs in 1861, to be a key turning point within Russian history. It drastically altered Russia’s economic, political and social stipulation. One could propose the argument that this event lead to the fall of communism in 1990, further more suggesting the extent to which this event affected Russia. Hence this is ‘perhaps the most defining moment in Russian history, with its impact being seen many years after the event itself’. Although historians identify short term effects of this event, the significance to which this event developed Russian government and society up to the 21st century has been so tremendous that they cannot be disregarded. However when one considers the argument of the likes of Louis Hobart who suggests the event was only a contributing element to ‘the social and economic transformation’ it must be asked to what extent was this event alone a key turning point in the development of Russian Government?…

    Russia was torn between the world war and the population was threatened as levels of starvation rose whilst industry fell. The provisional government could not do much to stop Russia plummeting as they did not have much power and the people of Russia failed to support them (1). The citizens of Russia were desperately looking for help and the Bolshevik party, created with the help of Lenin and Trotsky in the year 1917, had the answer. Slowly, they had managed to become one of the most powerful parties ever created, but many factors were to cause the consolidation of power. In this essay I will be comparing the significance of Vladimir Lenin in the Bolshevik consolidation of power with another important factor; Leon Trotsky.…

    The lands of Tsarist Russia once stretched from Scandinavia to the Pacific. The largest landlocked Empire in the world, stretching thousandths of miles across woods, plains, mountains, deserts, and the endless Siberian Taiga. 1The Russian people consist one of the most diverse ethnic groups in the world. In the west, descendants of Europeans known as the Kievan Rus founded Kyiv and the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Yet these former Europeans are distinctly different, both physically and mentally than Western Europeans. 2The Eastern Steppe consisted of various Central Asian races such as the Tatars, the Mongols, the Ugurs, and the Turks, who occupied various regions of what would become the Russian Empire. One aspect of the Russian Empire that always seemed to remain constant was its path of warfare, whether it was defensive or conquering other Empires. The Russian Empire always wanted to increase the size of their land for economic reasons. 3The political philosophies of the Russian people and State constantly changed due to the position that the Empire was in. The story of Russia is dramatic, ruthless, and most importantly a failure. Authoritarian governments have ruled the Russian people, since the creation of Kyiv. 4Whether it was the Mongol Empire, the Grand Duchy of Moscow, the Russian Empire, The USSR, or the Russian Federation, all these governments oppressed their citizens. Peter the Great is an independent thinker in the history of Russia, he saw Europe as the centre of knowledge and culture in the world. He, unlike so many of his countrymen, wanted Russia to be fully incorporated in European society.…

    But the Soviet Union was also creating its own problem as well. The ethnic groups were modernizing, although at times against their will, and they did so without forgetting their own past legends and cultural unity. Communication possibilities united ethnic groups that had only recently been disjointed and lacking a cohesion that transcended their cultural unity. Literacy rates in the Soviet Union sky-rocketed to one-hundred percent by the early twenties. This meant that collective ideas could be shared, and collective identity was developed slowly though literature The policies that preceded Stalin’s had allowed them to create their own identity, one without communism nor Russia. Their own languages, literature, religion, and intellectuals…

    The Russian Empire was a state that existed from 1721 until the Russian Revolution of 1917. It stretched from Europe to the Pacific Ocean and included people with diverse cultures and traditions.2 Russia was a land of disparity and contradiction by the turn of the 20th century. It was caught in between two worlds: the traditional world of the peasantry and the modern world of the westernized elite.3 As these two world coexisted, their values, culture, and way of life extremely differed. Regardless of the persistence of a rural society and economy, Russia became exposed to profound urban and industrial growth during the second half of the 19th century. 4Many peasants surfed…

    Andrzej Walicki explains in his History of Russian Thought: From Enlightenment to Marxism that “The term ‘Slavophilism’ was originally used as a gibe to underline a certain narrow tribal particularism”1 that was seen as characteristic of a group of ideologists which was formed in the late 1830’s in direct opposition to Westernism. The conflict between these two groups, the Slavophiles on one hand and the Westernisers on the other, was due in large part to the influence of Chaadaev and Uvarov, who established the “assumption that Russia and Europe were antithetical to one another.”2 Chaadaev’s influence on the Slavophiles went further, for his Philosophical Letter, published in 1836 in the journal Телескоп, was a piece of literature which, along with several others, portrayed Russia in such a negative light as to unite these thinkers behind their common fear of western influences and practices. These were all wealthy, conservative, patriotic, and landed nobles who were influenced to a large degree by German romanticism from the late 18th Century, as well as by two of the philosophers from the movement of German idealism, Georg Hegel and Friedrich Schelling. Hugh Seton-Watson makes note of this curious contradiction; that the Slavophiles held on to essentially western and secular doctrines3 while promoting their idealistic faith in the “native and primarily Slavic elements in the social life and culture of ancient Russia,” as well as in the Orthodox Church. An examination of the views that these men held involves a broad and in-depth look at numerous factors, of which several will now be explored.…

    During 1917 the political system of Russia, and the political opinions of its public, began to change. The First World War was deeply taking its toll, with the casualties running into millions, and food shortages were reaching crisis levels across Russia. Presided over by the Provisional Government, who had little support and even less real power, the people of Russia became restless. In October, the animosity between Government and populace came to a head, and a revolution put Lenin’s socialist Bolshevik party in power. This essay will show that, while the Bolshevik party was dedicated and driven in the values they believed in, it was only the seizing of opportunity, and a lot of luck, that they succeeded in taking power.…

    When you hear the name, Leonardo da Vinci, you immediately visualize "The Last Super" or "Mona Lisa", or with Michelangelo Buonarroti, you may think about "David" and his work in the Sistine Chapel, in addition to Claude Monet's impressionism, and Wyland's seascapes that are displayed all over the world on the sides of buildings and walls. These are only a few out of many artists that have brought to life the beauty of landscapes, animals, people, and shapes. What strikes their interest? Where are they from? In addition, what makes their work so interesting to the ordinary eye? There are many stories that could be told, but this one is of a Russian artist, the first to create a fully abstract painting.…
