Russian nationalism is one of those terms which trip easily off the tongue. Many politicians and journalists in the West seem to believe that most Russians have always at heart been nationalists in search of demagogues to lead them. But are they? For most of their history, until very recently, Russians have had an identity based less upon nationhood than upon a peasant culture and a rural version of Orthodox Christianity. Even their rulers have seldom been out-and-out nationalists. The tsars never forgot that they governed not a nation but a vast land-mass empire; and just as they aimed to foster loyalty to the imperial regime, so communist leaders - including even Stalin, who was the most Russifying of them - wished to engender an allegiance to the USSR and Marxism-Leninism. The result is that Russians as they emerge from communist rule are engaged in a process of self-discovery. They argue about the forms of politics and economy that will be best for them. But more than that, they ask the question: what is Russia? This book follows 'the Russian question' from tsarism to post-communism and offers readers an unrivalled insight into the debates that divide Russians today as they have caused controversies over centuries.
