Report During my stay at RUB i was working on a comparative project on western fringes of the late tsarist empire, back then one of the crucial world regions of the 20th (The Revolution That Did Not Happen. Rebellion and Reaction in the Post-Imperial Borderlands 1905-1921: Poland and Finland in Asymmetrical Comparison). Focusing on revolutionary mobilization and retraction, I address the problem of popular and state-led violence and trajectories of statehood emerging form the imperial context. A crucial work package dealt with the period of German military control over former Russian Poland during the WWI. Additionally, the comparative framework required studies on the Baltic lands. I also worked on my article
‘“One of the Oldest States in Europe Has Never Suppressed Any Nation.” The Minority Treaty, Nationalist Indignation and the Foundations of Interwar Ethnic Democracy in Poland,’ now published in Nations and Nationalism 2021, No. 27, pp. 1080–1096. During my fellowship I gave two talks, one on my book Rising Subjects, Die Revolution von 1905 und die Politische Figurationen des Imperiums. Polen im asymmetrischen Vergleich at RUB, and one on the older project on urban history (Ungleichzeitige Moderne als Kategorie der Praxis. Urbane Modernitätsdiskurse im post-imperialen Raum am Beispiel Łódź) at ISB.
