The Russian Question: Nationalism, Modernization, and Post-Communist Russia (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780847690039)

'Who are we?' is a question that has long haunted Russians. The crisis of identity that underlies attempts to grapple with modernity_the invention of an alien civilization_is explored in this timely book. Russia's response to the universal challenge posed by modernization's erosion of community has been to fall back on the enduring bond of kinship, as Allensworth here defines nationalism. The author draws on rare Russian sources to explore the various ways nationalists have responded to modernization and to chart a likely course for Russia's future development.
