• W4379420682 abstract "REVIEWS 971 a lackof people to unload the trainsthat did arriveat theirurbandestinations, a shortageof horsesto transferthe grainfrom the railwaystationsto the mills, and a lack of capacity in the mills themselves. And at every stage on the way there were many opportunitiesfor those in charge of the grain to steal it for their own consumption or to divert it to the black market. As a result, the provisioning authorities often had insufficient food to distribute to the population. These deficiencies made it necessary for Muscovites to take it upon themselves to travel to the countryside to purchase food and bring it backto the cityto feed themselvesand theirfamilies.Such tripswere, strictly speaking,illegalbecause they infringedthe state'smonopoly of trade,but they were to some extent tolerated by the authoritiesbecause they alleviated the food supplyproblem in the towns. A particularly useful section in Borrero's book is that dealing with the rationing system and the way it evolved. Rationing had been inherited from the Provisional Government, but under pressure of ever more serious food shortages, the Bolsheviks had developed class-based rationing systems that divided the urban populations into three or four categories. Over time as more and more people were successfulin theirbid to be included in the more privileged categories, the system was undermined, and in I920 rations came to be allocated on the basis of work performed in the previous weeks. As the author emphasizes, ration cards only gave the holder an entitlement to food, not food itself, since none might be available. Shortagesmade it necessaryfor the Moscow population to resort fairly regularlyto the black market, which flourished during the Civil War years with the connivance of the municipal authorities. From Borrero's account it is clear how corruption and privilege should emerge so earlyin the historyof the Soviet regime. In this book, which makes wide use of archival sources, the author has tackled an important subject, and has elucidated it in a clear and balanced way. It allows the reader to appreciate both the desperation of the Moscow consumers and the frustrationsof the supply authorities. The study is well integrated,so that the topics investigatedshedlight on each other. It is a work that can be recommended unreservedlyto anyone who wishes to understand the Russian Civil War period and the politics and economics of 'War Communism'.

LITHUANIA's restorationof independence and democratictransitionhasforced the country to redefine the nation. This self-analysishas led many in Europe and the emigre community abroad to seek conservativedefinitions.In Identity andFreedom, Leonidas Donskis approaches the notion of nationalism in general , and Lithuanian nationalism specifically, with an opposing view of the 972 SEER, 82, 4, 2004 nation. Relying on the worksand lives of three prominent Lithuanianemigre intellectuals,Donskisdrawsattentionto the concept of liberalnationalismand its application to Central and Eastern Europe. They are Vytautis Kavolis, AleksandrasShtromas and Tomas Venclova. Donskis relies on these intellectuals to press his own agenda of a liberal definition of the Lithuanianstate to great effect.As proponents of liberal nationalism, they put a differentface on nation-building in the region. Donskis maps the discourse of Lithuanian identityand freedom based on theirworks.Overall, Donskisputs the 'culture' back into the study of nationalism within a liberal framework. Lithuanian nationalismhas historicallytreatednational cultureas a collective individual, or the group above the individual.At the same time, Lithuaniannationalism has inherited a notion of messianism,whereby it standsas a 'bridge'between Eastand West. The book workswithin thisparallelframeworkwhile analysingthe worksof three intellectuals. First, the book looks at Kavolis, perhaps the most well known. Kavolis wanted to correct the pathological tendencies of Lithuanian culture that he and others saw most visibly in Lithuania's part in the Holocaust. Through the Santara-Sviesafederation of immigrant Lithuanian liberals in the US, Kavolis was able to push forward his idea of a new Lithuaniannation. Workingagainstwhat Kavolis called moralprovincialism, he constructed the concept of cultural liberalism where the individual is prioritizedover collective oppressivenessand a group-convergencementality. Overall, the bridging between the nationalist and liberal moral cultures is perhapshis..." @default.
