This major survey of Russia as a multi-ethnic empire spans the imperial years from the sixteenth century to 1917, with major consideration of the Soviet phase. It asks how Russians incorporated new territories, how they were resisted, what the character of a multi-ethnic empire was and how, finally, these issues related to nationalism. 606 $aNationalism$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aNationalism$zSoviet Union 606 $aEthnic groups$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aEthnic groups$zSoviet Union 607 $aRussia (Federation) 607 $aRussia 607 $aSoviet Union 615 0$aNationalism 615 0$aNationalism 615 0$aEthnic groups 615 0$aEthnic groups 676 $a947/.004 676 $a947.004 700 $aKappeler$b Andreas.$0295997 701 $aClayton$b Alfred$01600730 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824843903321 996 $aThe Russian empire$93923976 997 $aUNINA
