Abstract
The “so-called Russians”: Evolution in the type and consciousness of Russian students enrolled in Western universities after the Revolution of 1905
After the revolution of 1905, notable changes occurred in Russian student communities enrolled in Western institutions of higher learning. These changes affected the composition of the groups as well as the students’ motivations for studying abroad, their objectives, academic progress, political interests, and community life. The students’ mood also was altered. They were increasingly disconnected from the rhythm of political and social life in the motherland. Personal interests and likings came to play an increasingly important role. Student unions’ activities became diversified, and concentrated more and more on meeting material, spiritual, and cultural needs. At the same time, the students’ progressive acculturation led to a number of paradoxes and to the reinforcement of centrifugal tendencies which echoed those of organizational structures. This raises the question whether or not these groups could still be called “Russian.”
