Russian Empire offers new perspectives on the   strategies of imperial rule pursued by rulers, officials, scholars, and   subjects of the Russian empire. An international team of scholars explores   the connections between Russia's expansion over vast territories occupied   by people of many ethnicities, religions, and political experiences and the   evolution of imperial administration and vision. The fresh research   reflected in this innovative volume reveals the ways in which the realities   of sustaining imperial power in a multiethnic, multiconfessional,   scattered, and diffuse environment inspired political imaginaries and set   limits on what the state could accomplish. Taken together, these rich   essays provide important new frameworks for understanding Russia's imperial   geography of power.
