Reviews

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 Imperio
