Russian Citizenship is the first book to trace the Russian state's
citizenship policy throughout its history. Focusing on the period
from the mid-nineteenth century to the consolidation of Stalin's
power in the 1930s, Eric Lohr considers whom the state counted
among its citizens and whom it took pains to exclude. His research
reveals that the Russian attitude toward citizenship was less
xenophobic and isolationist and more similar to European attitudes
than has been previously thought-until the drive toward autarky
after 1914 eventually sealed the state off and set it apart.
Drawing on untapped sources in the Russian police and foreign
affairs archives, Lohr's research is grounded in case studies of
immigration, emigration, naturalization, and loss of citizenship
among individuals and groups, including Jews, Muslims, Germans, and
other minority populations. Lohr explores how reform of citizenship
laws in the 1860s encouraged foreigners to immigrate and conduct
business in Russia. For the next half century, citizenship policy
was driven by attempts to modernize Russia through intensifying its
interaction with the outside world. But growing suspicion toward
non-Russian minorities, particularly Jews, led to a reversal of
this openness during the First World War and to a Soviet regime
that deprived whole categories of inhabitants of their citizenship
rights. Lohr sees these Soviet policies as dramatically divergent
from longstanding Russian traditions and suggests that in order to
understand the citizenship dilemmas Russia faces today-including
how to manage an influx of Chinese laborers in Siberia-we must
return to pre-Stalin history.
