Summary:

Given Russia's invasion of Ukraine, why do emancipation messages that emanated from Russia count? This book addresses the role of Russia's multiethnic borderlands in generating kaleidoscopic repercussions of its 1917 Revolution. It also shows the Soviet Union as a highly ambiguous source of liberationist inspiration overshadowing today's global politics.
