This book examines the processes that resulted in this dual resolution in the context of World War I and the subsequent Russian Revolutions. Based on original archival material, Lizaveta Kasmach scrutinizes the development of competing concepts of Belarusian nationhood in the context of rivaling national aspirations and imperial policies. The analysis convincingly demonstrates the divisions within the nationalist movement, both politically between the moderates and socialists, and geographically between German-occupied territory with Vilna as a center versus Russian-controlled territory around Minsk. Besides the case study of Belarusian nation-building efforts, the book is a contribution to the study of the First World War in East Central Europe, approaching the war and its aftermath as a mobilizational moment in the region. 606 $aPolitical Science / Political Ideologies / Nationalism & Patriotism$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory / Europe / Eastern$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory / Military / World War I$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory 615 7$aPolitical Science / Political Ideologies / Nationalism & Patriotism 615 7$aHistory / Europe / Eastern 615 7$aHistory / Military / World War I 615 0$aHistory. 686 $aHIS010010$aHIS027090$aPOL031000$2bisacsh 700 $aKasmach$b Lizaveta$01430766 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910917260203321 996 $aBelarusian Nation-Building in Times of War and Revolution$93570625 997 $aUNINA
