Dominic Lieven’s stated reason for this contributionto the centenary literature on World War I is to place Russia “where it belongs, at the verycenter of the war’s history. Certainly the war proved to be at the center of Russian history,leading to revolution, dictatorship, repression and more war.
多米尼克·利芬(Dominic Lieven)称,自己这部关于“一战百年文献的著作,目的是把俄罗斯放在这场战争的历史“应有的位置,也就是它的核心。当然,这场战争也被证明位于俄罗斯历史的核心,为这个国家带来了其后的革命、独裁、压迫与更多战争。
But Mr. Lieven, a well-respected British scholar of Imperial Russia, makes the convincing casethat World War I was really about the struggle of Russia and Germany for territory, statusand influence in Eastern and Central Europe, in which the fate of Ukraine — shades of today —played a central role. At the end, Russia and Germany both lost, leading to a peace in whichneither played a constructive part, and making a second conflict likely.
利芬是一位备受尊敬的英国学者,专门研究沙皇时期的俄国。他给出了令人信服的证据,表明“一战其实是关乎俄罗斯与德国在东欧与中欧就领土、地位及影响进行的一系列斗争,其中乌克兰的命运(与如今的情况颇有类似)扮演了关键角色。最后,俄罗斯与德国都成了输家,在其后的和平之中,双方都没有扮演建设性的角色,并且为其后的第二次冲突埋下伏笔。
