The intellectual level of this project is exceptionally high and a
very impressive work has been produced. The authors have come up
with important and, occasionally, unexpected findings. This book
has pushed back the boundaries of our understanding of interethnic
relations in the former Soviet Union. - Richard Sakwa, University
of Kent, Canterbury
By its scope alone, this study is interesting. More than that, it
is impressive for the sophistication and scholarly rigour with
which it deals with the material. As attitudes are measured on
several levels, and a complexity of possible causal pathways are
explored, the book stays firmly focused. The findings are
convincing, policy-relevant and sometimes surprising. The
combination of psychological approaches to loyalty, prejudice and
conflict with statistical surveys in this case has created a study
that very nicely builds on existing social science work on the
Russian diaspora. - Journal of Peace Research
This volume could become a major contribution to our understanding
of interethnic prejudice and conflict. Its unique data offer the
opportunity to test many of the field's leading theories in new
intergroup contexts. Thus, it promises to be a significant
scholarly work that all major libraries and students of intergroup
relations will need on their shelves. - Thomas F. Pettigrew,
