This book looks at the past and present condition of Russian
nationalism. Its chapters examine the influence of tsarist and
Soviet official policies upon national identity, and seek to
explain the broader political, social and cultural factors which
helped or hindered the ambitions of rulers. The changeability of
Russian national consciousness is exmphasised. Several chapters
also highlight the various long-standing inhibitions to the
emergence of a consolidated civic nationalism in a Russian
Federation which gained its independence at the break-up of the
USSR.
The Russian Revolution of 1917 was an event of the greatest
importance, but the social groups which were crucial to its
development and outcome have been little written about. This book
brings together a number of prominent British researchers whose
work focusses on the connections among politics, social aspirations
and economics, and offers new insights into the reasons why, only
months after the last tsar fell from power in February 1917, it was
the Bolsheviks who seized control and established a communist
regime.
