George D. Jackson y Alexej Ugrinsky (Editores)
Coedición: UNMSM/HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY
212 páginas

Esta publicación recoge una importante selección de ensayos presentados en noviembre de 2003 por la Universidad Hofstra en una conferencia de celebración del 300 aniversario de San Petersburgo, ciudad que contribuyó de manera particular y decisiva en la historia rusa y la civilización.

Los editores de esta edición -completamente en inglés- realizaron un trabajo de clasificación y separación del mito y la realidad. Durante doscientos años la ciudad era la capital de Rusia Imperial y en este período se hizo una creación única de los “zares rusos” por ser una de las pocas ciudades planificadas desde arriba. Pedro El Grande, quien creó la primera ciudad, tenía en mente su proximidad al Oeste y esperó de algún modo traer el Imperio ruso más cerca de él en su cultura, el desarrollo económico y militar. Al mismo tiempo esto sirvió como un símbolo de la magnificencia y el poder del Zar Ruso. En el siglo XX la ciudad sería relegada al segundo plano como la nueva capital de la Rusia Soviética movida a Moscú. Bajo el nombre Leningrado la ciudad seguiría sirviendo como un estímulo hacia la cultura rusa.

Director de conferencia, Jorge D. Jackson es Profesor Emérito de Historia en la Universidad Hofstra. Además de numerosos artículos, Jackson ha escrito el libro Comintern and Peasant in East Europe 1919-1930 (1966) y más recientemente ha corregido el Diccionario de la Revolución Rusa (1989). Él escribió todos los artículos sin firmar.

El Doctor Alexej Ugrinsky es consultor editorial del Centro Cultural Hofstra y coeditor de este volumen. Él también ha redactado los siguientes trabajos: Gerald R. Ford and the Politics of Post-Watergate America (1994.), The Presidency and Domestic Policy of Jimmy Carter (1994), Jimmy Carter – Foreign Policy and Postpresidential Years (1994), Government Structures in the USA and the Sovereign States of the Former USSR (1996), Ronald Reagan’s America (1997), and President Reagan and the World (1997).
