Abstract Details

2010, Master of Arts, Miami University, History.
The life and writings of Russian author Ivan Alexseevich Bunin (1870-1953) provide a number of important insights into the major cultural discourses of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century Russian history. This thesis uses his experiences and literature as well as those of a number of his contemporaries as a guide for examining the larger dialogues of Russian cultural life in which Bunin participated. In particular, it focuses on the question of Russian national identity, responses to the February and October Revolutions, and the role of nostalgia in Russian émigré culture in Russia Abroad. The use of Bunin’s life to explore these themes also demonstrates the ways in which many of these issues carried over from the imperial era to the Soviet era in Russian émigré communities. A microhistorical study of his life thus provides a template for examining these themes within the larger scope of Russian history during this period.
