Ethnic cleansing in the Caucasus
Two cases of recent ethnic cleansing in the territories of North and South Ossetia in the Caucasus are examined here, not in order to understand the origins but rather to look at their impact on the communities involved and the degree to which such actions have produced solutions to problems of long standing instead of mere management of them at a tolerable level of violence. With similar clashes likely to occur elsewhere in the territories of th…

Towards a New Soviet Party Program on the Nationalities
It has often been declared that the CPSU cannot cope with the problems of its national minorities because it cannot understand, or rather is not willing to understand, the very nature of the beast. There is much to be said for this proposition, mirrored as it is in the agricultural sphere where Professor Peter Wiles has long insisted that to put a Marxist in a field is to pave the way for famine in no time. The Party in power, from Lenin onwards,…
The 1986 Party Program and the National Minorities in the USSR
Since Gorbachev's accession to power in March 1985, his rule has been marked by a very visible concern for economic reforms and developments in international relations. Nationality and minority affairs within the USSR, which played such a prominent part previously with the mass emigration movements and open dissent of the 1970s, have not been at the forefront of his interests, in either his speeches or his travels. However, the local Party congre…
Border Disputes and Disputed Borders
While the national question in the USSR has received much attention in terms both of the regime's ideological approach to it and the nationalist response to that approach, the issue of the actual minority territories created in the period from the 1920s to the 1940s has attracted little attention in recent times. Disputes over the external frontier aspects of some of these territories have certainly become familiar, as in the case of the Baltic s…
