Fraunholtz, Peter
Position:
Assistant Teaching Professor
Department:
History
Institution:
Northeastern University
Highest Degree and Institution:
PhD
Discipline:
Russian History
Specialization:
I study civil war-era food supply and grain procurement challenges and policies, primarily in the Middle Volga region of Russia, 1917-1920. My work seeks to understand how the experiences of “crisis” provinces and “stable” provinces are linked together. Based on primary research conducted in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and the Middle Volga province of Penza, my work challenges key aspects of the standard Western narrative concerning the Bolsheviks’ approach to the Russian countryside during the civil war years.
Current Research:
My current work examines continuities in how and why authoritarian regimes, both Tsarist and Bolshevik, identified and addressed (through, in part, revising the geography of administration) critical moments of rural administrative disorder to reestablish central authority in central Russian provinces. In the decades prior to the 1917 Revolutions multiple stakeholders struggled to implement rural administrative reform. Debates engaged conservatives, reformist bureaucrats, and liberal gentry and revolved around the prerogatives of central state authority versus autonomous local self-government, widening public participation versus bureaucratic supervision, decentralization and hierarchical chain of command. Amidst war, revolution and civil war, Russia quickly transitioned from tsarism to radical liberalism (1917), and finally to radical statism (1919-1920) thus reestablishing some semblance of administrative order across rural Russia. Ny research seeks to add to the growing body of literature that highlights the multifaceted Bolshevik administrative borrowing from pre-revolutionary statism and reformist dynamics.
