Comment on A great PhD Opportunity by Robin Croft

This is just such and interesting project. I suspect, though, that the successful candidates will have a steep learning curve just to get level with where Doc Lorraine is already at. I’m not sure that Higher Education is ready to embrace the concept of disruption, though!

Lenin wasn’t exactly a progressive when it came to sexual liberation; he was personally prudish in many respects. The Soviet feminist Alexandra Kollentai once said that sex should be as uncontroversial as drinking a glass of water. If I recall correctly, Lenin’s reply was, “Maybe for her.”

yes, you’re right it was the NEP Men. More on this when I’ve finished reading – not a fun time as you say – feminist perspective on the times an important part of the book too.

The early 1920′s was the period of Lenin’s “New Economic Policy” – the entrepreneurs presumably are the so-called “NEP Men”, who got shafted the moment that Stalin took over: they made money while they could. Furthermore, Russia had just been through a shattering civil war and the First World War: everyone was on edge at that point, everyone had dagger’s drawn. Not a fun time.
