War and Enlightenment in Russia explores how members of the
military during the reign of Catherine II reconciled Enlightenment
ideas about the equality and moral worth of all humans with the
Russian reality based on serfdom, a world governed by autocracy,
absolute respect for authority, and subordination to seniority.
While there is a sizable literature about the impact of the
Enlightenment on government, economy, manners, and literature in
Russia, no analytical framework that outlines its impact on the
military exists. Eugene Miakinkov's research addresses this gap and
challenges the assumption that the military was an unadaptable and
vertical institution. Using archival sources, military manuals,
essays, memoirs, and letters, the author demonstrates how the
Russian militaires philosophes operationalized the Enlightenment by
turning thought into reality.
