4.0 out of 5 stars
issues are still being played out, September 11, 2005
This review is from: Russia--A Return to Imperialism? (Hardcover)
In the euphoria of the end of the Cold War in the 90s, this book raised a discordant tone. Its authors offered evidence that Russia and its ethnic Russian majority still yearned for the imperialism that was the Soviet Union.
This neo-imperialism was investigated in several of the book's papers. Where the targets were considered to be the 'nearest abroad' [Ukraine, Belarus and Baltic], the 'near abroad' [Caucasus, central Asia and Moldova] and the 'far abroad'.
The book gives interesting views into the struggle within Russia, as it tried and tries to come to accept a diminished status. In the time since the book came out, the borders have remained stable. But the issues are still being played out.
