" . . . ambitious, wide-ranging, and ultimately provocative . . . " ―Slavic Review

"This excellent volume draws on the expertise of both young and established specialists . . . the volume is a pleasure to read." ―American Historical Review

" . . . a major step toward 'discovering Russian Asia' . . . a job well done." ―The Russian Review
