Description
This pioneering work treats the Ukrainian question in Russian imperial policy and its importance for the intelligentsia of the empire. Miller sets the Russian Empire in the context of modernizing and occasionally nationalizing great power states and discusses the process of incorporating the Ukraine, better known as Little Russia in that time, into the Romanov Empire in the late 18th and 19th centuries. This territorial expansion evolved into a competition of mutually exclusive concepts of Russian and Ukrainian nation-building projects.
Reviews / Votes
Excerpts from reviews on the original Russian edition: "This is a book that connects Russian scholarship with trends in North American and European scholarship. At the same time, this book also relates to Post-Soviet reflections about what constitutes the Russian nation... Miller's views are revisionist with regard to Ukrainian historiography, and they should provoke some rethinking or reaction from that quarter."-Kritika "Alexei Miller is representative of a new type of Russian international scholar who is rewriting the history of Eastern Europe and Eurasia... Pioneering work on the Ukrainian question in Russian imperial policy."--Ab ImperioMore details
