This deeply researched book offers the first post-Soviet account of how Bolshevik Russia and Poland came to sign the treaty-a pact that established the central part of the Soviet western border and provided Eastern Europe with a measure of stability that lasted until 1939. Jerzy Borzecki draws on a wealth of untapped materials in Russian and Polish archives to recreate the negotiations and behind-the-scenes maneuvers leading to and surrounding the treaty. He examines the significance of the agreement not only to its signatories but also to Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, and Latvia. The Riga peace represented an authentic compromise between Poland and Bolshevik Russia, Borzecki shows, and he offers new interpretations of other crucial aspects of the negotiations as well. 606 $aRusso-Polish War, 1919-1920$xDiplomatic history 606 $aRusso-Polish War, 1919-1920$xTerritorial questions 607 $aPoland$xForeign relations$zSoviet Union 607 $aSoviet Union$xForeign relations$zPoland 607 $aEurope$xBoundaries 607 $aEurope$xForeign relations$y1918-1945 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRusso-Polish War, 1919-1920$xDiplomatic history. 615 0$aRusso-Polish War, 1919-1920$xTerritorial questions. 676 $a943.8/04 700 $aBorze?cki$b Jerzy$f1956-$0505643 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455072003321 996 $aSoviet-Polish peace of 1921 and the creation of interwar Europe$9804860 997 $aUNINA
