This collected volume, edited by Ron Suny and Terry Martin, shows how the Soviet state managed to create a multiethnic empire in its early years, from the end of the Russian Revolution to the end of World War II. Bringing together the newest research on a wide geographic range, from Russia to Central Asia, this volume is essential reading for students and scholars of Soviet history and politics.
A State of Nations gives a very useful overview of the actual situation of American studies on empire and nation-making from the late tsarist empire to the end of the Stalin era.
