Summary:

This book, authored by Ilya Gerasimov, Sergey Glebov, and Marina B. Mogilner, offers a critical reexamination of the historical narrative surrounding Northern Eurasia from 1700 to 1918. It challenges the conventional 'Scheme of Russian History' (SRH), which has long depicted Russia's history as a linear progression of a unified political, cultural, and socioeconomic body. Instead, the authors propose a new framework termed 'imperial situation,' emphasizing the multifaceted diversity and societal dynamics of the historical regions. Through this lens, the book deconstructs traditional teleological and nationalist perspectives, providing a composite narrative that highlights the temporary and contextual nature of collective identities and societal structures. Intended for historians, scholars, and students of Russian and global history, the book employs conceptual lenses to provide alternative vantage points on imperial and societal developments, fostering a nuanced understanding of human diversity and historical complexity.
