Throughout the chapters, Motyl questions conventional wisdom, exposes its inconsistencies and weaknesses, and encourages readers to rethink their views in light of conceptual clarity, theoretical rigor, elementary logic, and empirical evidence. 410 0$aSoviet and post-Soviet politics and society ;$vVolume 250. 606 $aEastern Europe 606 $aNation 606 $aNational Discours 606 $aNationalism 606 $aNationalismus 606 $aOsteuropa 615 4$aEastern Europe 615 4$aNation 615 4$aNational Discours 615 4$aNationalism 615 4$aNationalismus 615 4$aOsteuropa 676 $a947 700 $aMotyl$b Alexander$4aut$01837038 702 $aUmland$b Andreas$cDr.$4edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910975224103321 996 $aNational Questions: Theoretical Reflections on Nations and Nationalism in Eastern Europe$94415358 997 $aUNINA
