Chaos in the North Caucasus and Russia's future
Chechen-style turmoil is spreading across the rest of the North Caucasus, and the Kremlin seems incapable of coping with the mounting chaos, or even understanding its causes - among them poverty, unemployment, ethnic tensions, corrupt pro-Moscow elites and high-handed policies by local authorities. Islam has become an increasingly powerful political force, and some Islamist groups are unquestionably radical and violent, and seek a sharia-based Ca…
Minority Ethnic Mobilization in the Russian Federation

Gorenburg sets out clearly the aims underlying his ambitious study. The book, he writes, “seeks to explain how state institutions affect et…
The August 1991 Coup and Its Impact on Soviet Politics
A book published by the author in 1993 contained a lengthy chapter on the August 1991 coup attempt in the Soviet Union. This article builds on and updates that chapter, making use of a trove of newly available documents and memoirs. The article discusses many aspects of the coup attempt, but it particularly seeks to explain why the coup failed and what the implications were for the Soviet Union. The events of December 1991 that culminated in the …
Sifting through the Rubble of the Yeltsin Years
Russia under Yeltsin has been replete with failure. Until the fundamental elements of the rule of law are introduced, Russia will remain a land of anarchy and unpleasant surpnses

"Reintegrating "Post-Soviet Space
The debate over the likely course of Russia's development under the presidency of Vladimir Putin has paid surprisingly little attention to Putin's goal of reintegrating Russia with other former Soviet republics. As prime minister, Putin strongly supported the treaty, signed by Boris Yeltsin and Belarusan president Alyaksandr Lukashenka on 8 December 1999, that created a new Union State (soyuznoe gosudarstvo) composed of Russia and Belarus. With P…
The Fall of the Russian Empire
Russia Confronts Chechnya: Roots of a Separatist Conflict
In this book John Dunlop provides an understanding of the background to the Russian invasion of Chechnya in December 1994, tracing events from 4,000 BC to the time of the invasion. The historic encounter between Chechens and Russians, first during pre-Petrine, and then with imperial Russia, is carefully examined. The genocide and oppression endured by the Chechens under the communists is discussed in detail. The convulsive 'Chechen Revolution' of…
The “Party of War” and Russian Imperial Nationalism
One year ago, a group of high-ranking Russian leaders attempted to stop economic reform and halt Western influence. Faced with the loss of foreign capital, Boris Yeltsin resisted the hard-liners, but many still remain in power today

Will a Large-Scale Migration of Russians to the Russian Republic Take Place over the Current Decade
Given the headlong and convulsive pace of political change occurring in the republics of the former Soviet Union, predictions concerning future developments in that area of the world must necessarily be tenuous and hedged about with caveats. The question of the likely scale of in-migration from the other former union republics into the Russian Republic over the remainder of this decade is, however, so politically charged and so important that ana…
Russia: Confronting a Loss of Empire, 1987–1991
Since 1987, when Mikhail Gorbachev's programs of glasnost and democratization began to set off chain reactions of convulsive political change, ethnic Russians have been a people in quest of an identity. During the seventy years of communist rule, most Russians had come to accept the regime's attempt to identify their interests as a people with those of the USSR as a whole. This identification had been reinforced structurally: unlike the other fou…
Russian Nationalism Today: Organizations and Programs
Russian nationalists in the Soviet Union have, of course, always claimed to speak and act on behalf of the narod , the common folk, but the folk they have had in mind have been largely the inhabitants, and particularly the older inhabitants, of the fast-disappearing traditional Russian village. Aware that this narod has indeed been vanishing, Russian nationalist writers and publicists have stressed that the task at hand is to graft the “ethics an…

Pamiat’ as a Social Movement
The events presently taking place in the Baltic are so interesting that I am almost prepared to cede my time to Alex Shtromas. Pamiat’ is clearly a less intriguing phenomenon than the issues he has been discussing. I have been asked to talk about Pamiat’ as a social movement and basically my response is that it is not one. It is not a social movement. Pamiat’ would like very much to be one, but recent events have made clear that the response of e…
The Return of Russian Nationalism
The Return of Russian Nationalism John B. Dunlop (bio) Under Leonid Brezhnev, Russian nationalism represented merely one of several repressed political tendencies in the Soviet Union. Under Mikhail Gorbachev, it has surged to a position of prominence, due both to the greater liberties permitted under glasnost and to the "dialectics" of the intense political struggle that developed between Gorbachev and his conservative opponents. The extraordinar…

A Voice from the Chorus
Andrei Sinyavsky, who writes under the pseudonym of Abram Tertz, has been called by Saul Bellow one of the most intelligent, most original, and most brilliant of contemporary writers. A noted Russian dissident, he was incarcerated from 1966 to 1971 in Soviet forced-labor camps for allowing some of his most satirical writings to be smuggled out of Russia and published in the West. This extraordinary literary work is Sinyavsky's prison memoir. Base…

Important Points Missed
To comment on Sidney Monas's "GULag and Points West" is not an easy task. The article as a whole lacks focus and consistency, and it is simply not clear what moved Monas to compose this often diffuse collection of misrepresentations and misconceptions. In the past I have been an admirer of the author and his scholarship, but it is difficult to extend my admiration to this essay.One of Monas's intentions may have been to provide an overview of Sol…
Mnogaya leta: Advocate of a Russian church — Soviet state concordat
In 1974, the important Russian nationalist samizdat journal Veche was suppressed by the KGB after a three-year existence and its editor, Vladimir Osipov, sentenced to eight years in the camps. Though this has not been sufficiently understood in the West, Veche represented a publication of considerable political significance, serving as a sounding-board for most strands of contemporary ethnic Russian nationalism. In this respect, the title was mos…

The Russian Orthodox Church in the millennium year: What it needs from the Soviet state
The Moscow Patriarchate has made lavish plans to celebrate the thousandth anniversary of the baptism of Kievan Rus' by Prince Vladimir. In July 1987 the Patriarchate opened an information centre where Soviet and foreign journalists could be briefed on the preparations for the and receive literature on the position of religion in the USSR. 1 By now the church will have held its local council (Sobor) at the Trinity-St Sergius Lavra in Zagorsk (6-9 …
Religious themes in recent Soviet cinema
Like Soviet literature, Soviet cinema has in recent decades exhibited a persistent interest in religious themes, though this has usually been expressed in Aesopian fashion. The reason for often elliptical and coded articulation of this interest has been rigorous Soviet censorship. Lenin, as is well known, once termed cinema the most important art, because of its potential to reach a mass audience, and Soviet authorities have traditionally subject…
Solzhenitsyn in Exile: Critical Essays and Documentary Materials
Solzhenitsyn in Exile rises out of the aiding interest in Solzhenitsyn: the political image, the writer, and the man. There are four aspects to this volume: the change in attitude toward Solzhenitsyn in the West after his expulsion from the USSR; literary criticism of his oeuvre since his expulsion from Russia; newly translated memoirs and interviews; and bibliographies of works about Solzhenitsyn and his writings
