Tsar and Sultan offers a unique insight into Russian Orientalism as
the intellectual force behind Russian-Ottoman encounters. Through
war diaries and memoirs, accounts of captivity and diplomatic
correspondences, Victor Taki's analysis of military documents
demonstrates a crucial aspect of Russia's discovery of the Orient
based on its rivalry with the Ottoman Empire. Narratives depicting
the brutal realities of Russian-Turkish military conflicts
influenced the Orientalisation of the Ottoman Empire. In turn,
Russian identity was built as the counter-image to the demonised
Turk. This book explains the significance of Russian Orientalism on
Russian identity and national policies of westernisation. Students
of both European and Middle East studies will appreciate Taki's
unique approach to Russian-Turkish relations and their influence on
Eurasian history.
