Since its rapid imperial expansion in the seventeenth century,
Russia's politics, society, and culture have exerted a profound
influence on movement throughout Eurasia. The circulation of
people, information, and things across Russian space transformed
populations, restructured collective and individual identities, and
created enduring legacies. This volume represents the latest
discoveries of scholars attempting to rediscover this experience,
and to understand its lasting meaning for today. These gathered
essays tell a broad range of stories, involving a remarkable
cross-section of historical actors: imperial visionaries,
stage-coach entrepreneurs, religious pilgrims, tourists, disability
activists and metropolitan police, among others. The book
illuminates three major themes: the role of human mobility in
Russian governance; the processes by which people decide where and
how to move; and the political and cultural power of different
kinds of movement. A strong contribution to our understanding of
the history of Russia and the Soviet Union, this volume offers new
models of research for historians, sociologists, political
scientists, and others who are seeking to integrate the study of
human mobility into their work. Contributors are Eugene M. Avrutin,
Alexandra Bekasova, Faith Hillis, Gijs Kessler, Diane P. Koenker,
Chia Yin Hsu, Eileen Kane, Anne Lounsbery, Matthew Light, Sarah D.
Phillips, John Randolph, Anatolyi Remnev, Jeff Sahadeo, Frithjof
Benjamin Schenk, Charles Steinwedel, Willard Sunderland, and Elena
Tyuryukanova.
