Description

Geoffrey Hosking's study provides a prism through which to view Russian history by posing the apparently simple question: what is Russia's national identity? His thesis is that the needs of Russia's empire prevented the creation of a Russian nation. The Tsars, and before them the Grand Dukes of Moscow, were empire builders rather than nation builders and, as consequence, profoundly alienated ordinary Russians.

Author Biography:

Geoffrey Hosking has been Professor of Russian History at the School of Slavonic Studies, University of London, since 1984. He is the author of the award-winning History of the Soviet Union for Fontana Press. In 1988, Professor Hosking was invited to give the annual BBC Reith lectures and spoke on the subject of ‘Change in Contemporary Soviet Society’, in doing so accurately predicting the imminent collapse of the Soviet Union.
