The Steppe and Its Empires
A Colonial Empire Without Colonies
Syrien unter der Herrschaft der Osmanen bietet Anlass, das Konzept von Kolonialismus zu hinterfragen. Über vier Jahrhunderte hinweg (1516–1918) herrschte das Osmanische Reich über die vorwiegend arabischsprachige Bevölkerung des syrischen Gebiets. Aufgrund der Ansiedlung neuer Bevölkerungsgruppen, der ökonomischen Ausbeutung durch Beamte und der Kooptation von „kriegerischen“ oder „tribalen“ Gemeinschaften in die imperiale Ordnung hat die osmanis…
Of Religion and Empire
Russia's ever-expanding imperial boundaries encompassed diverse peoples and religions. Yet Russian Orthodoxy remained inseparable from the identity of the Russian empire-state, which at different times launched conversion campaigns not only to "save the souls" of animists and bring deviant Orthodox groups into the mainstream, but also to convert the empire's numerous Muslims, Buddhists, Jews, Catholics, and Uniates.This book is the first to inves…
Between Europe and Asia
This essay addresses an unusual knot of the Russian historiography: was Russia a colonial empire and if so, why did he authorities consistently refuse to identify the empire as such? I am providing some answers by examining the Russian empire in a broad comparative perspective of both European and Asian empires. In the end, the goal of this essay is to re-open a discussion on the nature of the Russian empire

The Indigenous Elites and the Construction of Ethnic Identities in the North Caucasus
Where Two Worlds Met
During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the expanding Russian empire was embroiled in a dramatic confrontation with the nomadic people known as the Kalmyks who had moved westward from Inner Asia onto the vast Caspian and Volga steppes. Drawing on an unparalleled body of Russian and Turkish sources—including chronicles, epics, travelogues, and previously unstudied Ottoman archival materials—Michael Khodarkovsky offers a fresh interpretatio…
"Taming the "Wild Steppe
Of Christianity, Enlightenment, and Colonialism
Good old Russia! So it really does belong to Europe. And I'd always thought that was just a mistake of the geographers. (Alexander Pushkin [quoted from Susan Layton, Russian Literature and Empire: Conquest of the Caucasus from Pushkin to Tolstoy [Cambridge, 1994], p. 86)

Not by Word Alone
In 1821 the newly appointed director and rector of the Imperial Kazan University received the following instructions from the government in St. Petersburg: 'It is of utmost importance for the government that the education of its people be based on a firm foundation of the Christian religion, that the evil spirit of our time, the all-destructive spirit of free thinking, does not penetrate the sacred temples, where the happiness of the future gener…

A History of the Peoples of Siberia
From Frontier To Empire
At the height of the Cold War in the 1960s, an advertisement by the British Ministry of Defense asked readers: "Isn't it better to have our frontier on the Elbe than on Brighton beach?" In sixteenth-century Muscovy there were no readers to ask a similar question, but the answer was obvious all the same. It was incumbent upon the rising Orthodox Muscovite state to expand its frontier in the east, where neighboring lands populated by the non-Christ…
