Voices from the Soviet Edge: Southern Migrants in Leningrad and Moscow
This book reveals the complex and fascinating stories of migrant populations in Leningrad and Moscow. The book focuses on the hundreds of thousands of Uzbeks, Tajiks, Georgians, Azerbaijanis, and others who arrived toward the end of the Soviet era, seeking opportunity at the privileged heart of the USSR. The book shows how the energy of these migrants, denigrated as “Blacks” by some Russians, transformed their families' lives and created inter-re…

Jeff Eden. Slavery and Empire in Central Asia
Unfree labor powered pastoral economies and agricultural societies in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Central Asia. Historians have noted the presence of slaves in the region, but until now we have lacked a dedicated study on the trade’s scale and importance. In Slavery and Empire in Central Asia, Jeff Eden reveals that likely hundreds of thousands, primarily Iranian, slaves labored in Central Asia’s fields, homes, and workshops. The author st…

We’re Exceptional Too! Power, Peripheries, and Imperial Connections
Sahadeo’s article examines Julian Go’s Patterns of Empire from the viewpoint of a historian of Russia’s southern borderlands of the Caucasus and Central Asia. Go offers a pathway for scholars of other expansionist regimes, including the tsarist state and the Soviet Union, to break down exclusivist mythologies and think beyond the nation. In turn, Sahadeo’s article examines steps toward a transnational history of empire that builds on Go’s periphe…
Soviet "Blacks" and Place Making in Leningrad and Moscow
Movement from the USSR's margins to Leningrad and Moscow, among groups ranging from traders to professionals, intensified in the late Soviet period. Using oral histories, Jeff Sahadeo analyzes the migration and place-making experiences of migrants from Central Asia, the Caucasus, and the Asian RSFSR, all of whom were often referred to then as well as now by the Soviet host population as "Blacks." Sahadeo argues that the "two capitals," despite be…
The accidental traders: Marginalization and opportunity from the southern republics to late Soviet Moscow
Shrinking opportunities on the Soviet periphery pushed increasing numbers of Caucasus and Central Asian peoples to late twentieth-century Moscow. This article analyses the migration experiences of two Kyrgyz, one Uzbek and one Azeri who left their native villages, eventually engaging in private trade in Moscow's streets and markets. Using oral histories, the article reveals the importance and extent of trading networks across the Union of Soviet …
Russian Rule in Samarkand, 1868-1910: A Comparison with British India
Strategic and military goals drove the Russian conquest of Central Asia, leaving Tsarist officers ruling over a Muslim population deemed to be backward and fanatic. Alexander Morrison argues that Russian control of the Samarkand region from 1868 to 1910 produced an ‘inadvertently benevolent neglect’ (p. 291) due to an unwillingness to spend resources or directly challenge a local society that might at any point rebel. Similar to the case of Briti…
Druzhba Narodovor second-class citizenship? Soviet Asian migrants in a post-colonial world
Increasing numbers of citizens from the eastern and southern regions of the USSR sought and obtained residence in the 'two capitals' of Leningrad and Moscow following the Second World War. This article exposes the uniqueness of late Soviet periphery to core migration, all the while placing it within a global post-colonial framework. Soviet policies that promoted the 'friendship of peoples' spared migrants from the Caucasus, Central Asia, and Asia…

Epidemic and Empire: Ethnicity, Class, and "Civilization" in the 1892 Tashkent Cholera Riot
A cholera epidemic that swept through Central Asia on its way to Russia and Europe in 1892 transformed visions and practices of empire in Tashkent, the capital of the Russian province of Turkestan. Jeff Sahadeo argues that the epidemic revealed interdependencies between Russian colonizers and the predominandy Muslim local population, even as it produced ethnic violence. Tsarist officials and Russian settlers ruthlessly suppressed a June 1892 prot…
