Nineteenth-century Russian intellectuals were faced with a dilemma.
They had to choose between modernizing their country, thus
imitating the West, or reaffirming what was perceived as their
country's own values and thereby risk remaining socially
underdeveloped and unable to compete with Western powers. Scholars
have argued that this led to the emergence of an anti-Western,
anti-modern ethnic nationalism. In this innovative book, Susanna
Rabow-Edling shows that there was another solution to the
conflicting agendas of modernization and cultural authenticity - a
Russian liberal nationalism. This nationalism took various forms
during the long nineteenth century, but aimed to promote reforms
through a combination of liberalism, nationalism and imperialism.
