The Western border areas of Russia were not only the most densely populated and economically developed part of the Romanov Empire, but also the most politically active. The Jewish, Polish and Ukrainian “issues”, which persisted until the fall of the Russian Empire, all originated here. The fate of Russian nation-building projects was likewise largely decided in the Western borderlands. The Western Borders of the Russian Empire focuses on the relationship between the imperial authorities and various national movements. Written by leading Russian experts in this field, it includes articles by Polish, Ukrainian, Belarusian and Lithuanian specialists: thus, the reader may compare the approaches of different historiographies. Readers will also benefit from the large number of maps and tables.
