The Ukrainian Impact on Russian Culture, 1750-1850 - Saunders, David

Tight, unmarked; very small nicks by spine edge; light crease to upper back corner; spine lightly sunned; otherwise very minimal wear; spine straight and uncreased; This study, based largely on original research in the archives of Moscow and Leningrad, sheds light on the role played in Russian cultural development by those Ukrainians who chose to identify themselves with the Russian Empire. By stressing the native, Slavic aspects of imperial culture, Ukrainians modified the Russians' understanding of what it meant to be Russian. Although significant, the Ukrainian impact was short-lived. The concluding chapter explains the tsarist government's imposition of an increasingly rigid conception of nationality on all its subjects, which led Ukrainians to reassert their separate identity.
