From Empire to Eurasia – Politics, Scholarship, and Ideology in Russian Eurasianism, 1920s–1930s (NIU Series in Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies)

Product description Review "This book is a long-awaited culmination of several years of articles and, most recently, a Russian-language collection of annotated documents on the history of one of the most fascinating intellectual movements to emerge from the Russian post-revolutionary emigration. The tragic conclusion to Glebov's story reads like a genuine tale of espionage." --Mark von Hagen, coeditor of The Empire and Nationalism at War "There could be no better time to publish a book on Eurasianism--a proto-fascist ideology elaborated by Russian emigres of the 1920s--since today's Russia has seen a surge in the popularity of nationalist, illiberal, and even totalitarian ideas, sometimes loosely identified with Eurasianism. Glebov's book stands out as a major contribution to the field. He offers the most comprehensive and systematic analysis of Eurasianism, and he undertakes it from a new perspective, spanning a wide spectrum of Eurasianist ideas and representing their ideology as a dynamic interrelation of concurrent positions and temporary allegiances shifting over time." --Olga Maiorova, University of Michigan About the Author Sergey Glebov is associate professor of history at Smith College and Amherst College. He received his MA from Central European University and his PhD from Rutgers University. He is a founding editor of Ab Imperio: Studies of New Imperial History and Nationalism in the Post-Soviet Space.
