Laurie Matheson once again was a model editor, offering exemplary encouragement and support to the project. James G. Engelhardt took over the project as editor at a late stage and lent helpful aid. Amanda Wicks, Brigette M. Brown, Julie R. Laut, and Jennifer Clark also provided splendid editorial assistance. Nancy Albright was once again a superlative copy editor. Others supported the research, writing, and editing in a variety of ways, including Hyunhee Park, Fumihiko Kobayashi, Sara McDougall, Jürgen Martschukat, David Enos, Ginger and Matti Vehaskari, George Dansker, Jack Belsom, and Daniel Golebiewski. Margaret Vandiver and an anonymous reader improved the manuscript with their close reading and helpful comments. I am also grateful to the University of California Press for permission to reprint Stephen Frank’s chapter on popular justice and the Russian peasantry.
