Russian historiography - at least as it is reflected in history
textbooks - has been invariably focused on the central state, to
the power. The national historiographies of the peoples that were
once part of the empire, on the other hand, concentrate on their
own nation, and the empire for them is only a burdensome context in
which a particular nation was "waking up", maturing and fighting
for independence. Miller addresses the complex fabric of
interaction between the imperial authority and local communities in
the Romanov empire.Some of the questions that he seeks to answer
include: How did the authorities structure the space of the empire?
What were the economic relations between the borderlands and the
center? How and why was the use of different languages regulated?
How did the central authorities and local officials create and
implement policies regarding different population groups? How did
the experience, acquired in particular borderlands, influence the
policies of the authorities in other borderlands, whether by
borrowing administrative strategies and legal decisions or through
officials who often changed their place of service several times
during their careers? How did the local elites and communities
react to the policies of the imperial authorities? How did they
uphold their special interests if the empire encroached on them,
but also - how did they collaborate with the empire and how did
they use imperial resources for local interests?
