In this volume, scholars from the United States, Canada and the
Soviet Union trace the rise of new national movements in the Soviet
Union and the political implications of the changing relationships
between the subjects of the federation. The authors offer new
arguments concerning the link between political structure and
nationalism, finding that Soviet policies designed to eliminate
national distinctiveness frequently had the unintended result of
creating new national identities. With the adoption of perestroika
and glasnost, such identities have become a potent political force,
impelling the Soviet Union to grapple with the contradictions
between regional sovereignty and territorial integrity. The
contributors also show how, in the course of this struggle, the
international system has often played a critical role. It has
helped shape the aspirations of non-Russian nationalist movements,
which often seek integration within the world even as they pursue
independence from traditional imperialist orientations, adopting a
more isolationist stance centered on the creation of a specifically
Russian state.
