Threads of Empire examines how Russia's imperial officials and
intellectual elites made and maintained their authority among the
changing intellectual and political currents in Eurasia from the
mid-16th century to the revolution of 1917. The book focuses on a
region 750 miles east of Moscow known as Bashkiria. The region was
split nearly evenly between Russian and Turkic language speakers,
both nomads and farmers. Ufa province at Bashkiria's core had the
largest Muslim population of any province in the empire. The
empire's leading Muslim official, the mufti, was based there, but
the region also hosted a Russian Orthodox bishop. Bashkirs and
peasants had different legal status, and powerful Russian Orthodox
and Muslim nobles dominated the peasant estate. By the 20th
century, industrial mining and rail commerce gave rise to a class
structure of workers and managers. Bashkiria thus presents a
fascinating case study of empire in all its complexities and of how
the tsarist empire's ideology and categories of rule changed over
time.
