Description

This book examines Soviet nationalities policy from the 1920s to the present. Tracing nationalities policy to its roots in Bolshevik efforts to arrest the decay of the Russian Empire, Dr Simon looks at the evolution of Soviet policy, analyzes the reactions of non-Russian peoples to the policies, and discusses the forms of expression and the goals of non-Russian nationalism.
