Historian Kelly O'Neill has written the first archive-based, multi-dimensional study of the initial "quiet conquest" of a region that has once again moved to the forefront of international affairs. O'Neill traces the impact of Russian rule on the diverse population of the former khanate, which included Muslim, Christian, and Jewish residents. She discusses the arduous process of establishing the empire's social, administrative, and cultural institutions in a region that had been governed according to a dramatically different logic for centuries. With careful attention to how officials and subjects thought about the spaces they inhabited, O'Neill's work reveals the lasting influence of Crimea and its people on the Russian imperial system, and sheds new light on the precarious contemporary relationship between Russia and the famous Black Sea peninsula.HISTORY / Modern / 18th CenturybisacshCrimea (Ukraine)History18th centuryRussiaHistoryCatherine II, 1762-1796HISTORY / Modern / 18th Century.947.71O'Neill Kelly, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1865191DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9911046698803321Claiming Crimea4472235UNINA
