<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Numismatic advertisements of competing claims to the title of grand prince served as a useful propaganda medium during the Muscovite succession struggles
of the 1400s but also yielded a persistent slippage between coins’ function of proclaiming political legitimacy and conferring that legitimacy. This article outlines the mutually symbolizing relation between coinage and succession in the cultural imagination
of the Daniilovich dynasty and beyond. It focuses on verbal tropes, succession practices, and economic functions by turns in order to elucidate the rhetorical matrix that identified the legitimacy of the tsar and of money and to sketch out its evolving applications.
First, I read passages from Ivan IV’s first letter to Prince Kurbskii to show how the tsar conceived of usurpation as a falsified succession suggestive of falsified coin. Then, I treat early Muscovite coins that articulated family relationships, especially
conflicts between primogenitary and collateral principles of inheritance. Finally, I relate the sovereign to the material artifact of money, particularly coins representing him as a mintmaster or as an executioner poised to punish counterfeiters, in order
to contextualize efforts by enemies of the state to command numismatic symbols. In all of these contexts, the perception of legitimate succession is intertwined with a currency of signs and the circulation of specie.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The most important Russian artistic movement of the end of the twentieth century, Moscow conceptualism has been described as sectarian, esoteric,
and self-absorbed, with an affinity for substituting longwinded commentaries for visual images. Such definitions, while compelling for some participants in the movement, fail to describe adequately the work of a number of unofficial Moscow artists from the
late Soviet period, particularly the so-called second generation of conceptualists. This is partly the result of a critical tendency to misconstrue the role words actually play in the work of second-generation artists and to conflate their use of painted text
with that of other Moscow conceptualists. Closer attention to the kinds of texts these artists include in their pictorial creation and their intent in doing so suggests that they represent a significant but understudied development in this still misunderstood
group.<b> <o:p></o:p></b></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">This article analyzes the development of Soviet scientific future studies after World War II, arguing that the field’s theory and methods undermined
the certainty of the communist future and laid the foundations for a new Soviet governmentality that acknowledged the intrinsic uncertainty of future development. The emphasis on uncertainty—but also the need for more data that could freely circulate between
different branches of government and hence more transparency (<i>glasnost<’></i>)—called for radical revisions to Soviet notions of effective governance. Whereas some used future studies to criticize the actual practices of Soviet economic planning, others
used this new type of expertise to extend personal influence and accumulate organizational power. Both cases, however, made it clear that Soviet governance had to accommodate the shift toward new constellations of power/knowledge in which scientific experts
would play an ever-increasing role in shaping policy with regard to a fundamentally uncertain future.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

these nondisciplinary appropriations of history <i>parahistorical</i>. Parahistory is an international phenomenon, but it is articulated differently in various national contexts. Russian parahistorical pursuits provide insight into both the phenomenon at large
and the peculiarities of the Russian state’s and population’s attitudes toward history and historical memory. On the basis of a contextualized survey of Russian parahistory, we argue that historians cannot afford to ignore these uses of history beyond the
academy which can teach us a great deal about the nature and broader implications of our discipline.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">In June 1968, Yugoslav university students launched strikes and demonstrations condemning police brutality and university conditions and critiquing
the apparent failure of self-managing socialism. The “June events” show that the demonstrators were active participants in a global movement but also heavily influenced by local context, practices, and ideas. Whereas Yugoslav youth engaged with, drew from,
and ignored the activities of other student movements, authorities reacted to youth rebellion by insisting that the majority of the protesters were showing support for state policies and that the most incorrigible were influenced by, or agents of, foreign
entities. Thus, the state reproduced an artificially rigid boundary between east and west as well as between good socialist youth and enemy agents. This article decenters the west as the standard of youth rebellion, considering it in conjunction with but not
in comparison to Yugoslavia. It approaches the Cold War world as characterized by the transfer of ideas and practices, not just the clash of civilizations.

across the eastern bloc, an important focus of the populations’ appeals to the authorities concerned the appropriate levels and conditions of consumption. Their letters display growing consumer aspirations, and from the mid-1960s onward a significant number
of these petitions expressed the desire to buy a car. However, when state authorities failed to deliver enough cars, they also shaped a new attitude toward consumption. On the one hand, the population asked for automobiles as favors. On the other, a new discourse
of entitlement and even “consumer rights” surfaced. Citizens started to expect a certain lifestyle; moreover, they even believed themselves to be entitled to it. As a consequence, their new sense of entitlement diluted the culture of favors and privilege,
thereby contributing to the crisis of legitimacy in late socialism.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
