In the years following the Napoleonic Wars, a mysterious manuscript began to circulate among the dissatisfied noble elite of the Russian Empire. Entitled The History of the Rus', it became one of the most influential historical texts of the modern era. Attributed to an eighteenth-century Orthodox archbishop, it described the heroic struggles of the Ukrainian Cossacks. Alexander Pushkin read the book as a manifestation of Russian national spirit, but Taras Shevchenko interpreted it as a quest for Ukrainian national liberation, and it would inspire thousands of Ukrainians to fight for the freedom of their homeland. Serhii Plokhy tells the fascinating story of the text's discovery and dissemination, unravelling the mystery of its authorship and tracing its subsequent impact on Russian and Ukrainian historical and literary imagination. In so doing he brilliantly illuminates the relationship between history, myth, empire and nationhood from Napoleonic times to the fall of the Soviet Union.

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.

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.

Ruslands hunkering naar een wereldrijkToen Rusland in 2014 de Krim annexeerde stond de wereld grotendeels in shock toe te kijken bij deze schending van de soevereiniteit van een ander land. Dit was echter niet de eerste, maar een van vele Russische inspanningen om de Russische grenzen te verleggen en het pan-Russische ideaal te verwezenlijken ? de vereniging van mensen en gebieden met de Russische etniciteit, cultuur en identiteit.dentiteit vormt een kernpunt in de Russische geschiedenis: tijdens de laatste vijfhonderd jaar werd die op vele verschillende manieren gedefinieerd. Het verloren koninkrijk volgt de geschiedenis van de opbouw van de Russische identiteit tot aan onze tijd. Centraal staan de politieke leiders, van Ivan de Verschrikkelijke en Stalin tot Poetin, die allen bestaande vormen van die identiteit exploiteerden en nieuwe varianten bedachten om hun wereldrijk uit te breiden. Een meesterlijke geschiedenis van het Russische nationalisme die Poetins politiek in een nieuwe context plaatst.Serhii Plokhy is historicus, werkzaam als professor Oekraïense Geschiedenis aan Harvard University en de directeur van het Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute. Hij heeft meerdere boeken over Oekraïne, Rusland en Oost-Europa geschreven, inclusief het veelvuldig bekroonde Lost Empire.Bron : http://www.bol.com
