In 2014, Russia annexed the Crimea and attempted to seize a portion of Ukraine. While the world watched in outrage, this blatant violation of national sovereignty was only the latest iteration of a centuries-long effort to expand Russian boundaries and create a pan-Russian nation. The author argues here that we can only understand the confluence of Russian imperialism and nationalism today by delving into the nation's history. Spanning over 500 years, from the end of the Mongol rule to the present day, the author shows how leaders from Ivan the Terrible to Joseph Stalin to Vladimir Putin exploited existing forms of identity, warfare, and territorial expansion to achieve imperial supremacy. An authoritative and masterful account of Russian nationalism, this book chronicles the story behind Russia's belligerent empire-building quest.

"Si, à partir de Pierre le Grand, la Russie a tout fait pour s'arrimer à l'Occident, un voile recouvre l'autre versant de son identité : sa composante orientale. Au XIXe siècle, la construction d'un vaste empire colonial pousse la puissance russe toujours plus loin à l'est et au sud, du Caucase jusqu'à l'océan Pacifique. Entre la fondation de Saint-Pétersbourg en 1703 et la création de Vladivostok en 1860, on assiste à une véritable "orientalisation" de l'Empire. Militaires, savants et diplomates, écrivains et artistes nourrissent alors l'imaginaire de la Russie et fortifient sa vocation universelle. De Catherine II à Lénine, de Pouchkine à Diaghilev, cet ouvrage offre pour la première fois une présentation générale de la colonisation russe en Orient, des rêves - suivis parfois de réveils cruels - qui l'ont accompagnée, et dont certains durent encore"--P.

This book examines the Russian conquest of the ancient Central Asian khanates of Bukhara and Khiva in the 1860s and 1870s, and the relationship between Russia and the territories until their extinction as political entities in 1924. It shows how Russia's approach developed from one of non-intervention, with the primary aim of preventing British expansion from India into the region, to one of increasing intervention as trade and Russian settlement grew. It goes on to discuss the role of Bukhara and Khiva in the First World War and the Russian Revolution, and how the region was fundamentally cha
