Suicide and the Body Politic in Imperial Russia - Cambridge Social and Cultural Histories
Morrissey, Susan K. (University College London)
In early twentieth-century Russia, suicide became a public act and a social phenomenon; a disquieting emblem of Russia's encounter with modernity. This book draws on an extensive range of sources, from judicial records to the popular press, to examine the forms, meanings, and regulation of suicide from the seventeenth century to 1914.
