Russian Identities cover

This book investigates the question of Russian identity, looking at changes and continues over a huge territory, many centuries, and a variety of political, social, and economic structures. Its main emphases are on the struggle against the steppe peoples, Orthodox Christianity, autocratic monarchy, and Westernization.

Riasanovsky is more perceptive than many of his colleaugues about the key role of ideology in the political system. * John Keep, Comptes Rendus *
Russian Identities is an impressively authoritative work, readable, judicious in its arguments, and persuasive. * Douglas Smith, TLS *
