This book documents developments in the countries of eastern
Europe, including the rise of authoritarian tendencies in Russia
and Belarus, as well as the victory of the democratic 'Orange
Revolution' in Ukraine, and poses important questions about the
origins of the East Slavic nations and the essential similarities
or differences between their cultures. It traces the origins of the
modern Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian nations by focusing on
pre-modern forms of group identity among the Eastern Slavs. It also
challenges attempts to 'nationalize' the Rus' past on behalf of
existing national projects, laying the groundwork for understanding
of the pre-modern history of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. The book
covers the period from the Christianization of Kyivan Rus' in the
tenth century to the reign of Peter I and his eighteenth-century
successors, by which time the idea of nationalism had begun to
influence the thinking of East Slavic elites.
