Extending the Borders of Russian History
Essays in Honor of Alfred J. Rieber
Edited by Marsha Siefert, Central European
University, Budapest.
Leading authority in Russian history, Alfred J.
Rieber taught at leading US universities before
joining Central European University.
Eminent historians and social scientists, Boris A.
Anan'ich, Peter Gatrell, Wendy Zeva Goldman, Leopold
H. Haimson, Moshe Lewin, Nicholas V. Riasanovsky, William
G. Rosenberg, Richard S. Wortman, to name a few - cover
several centuries of Russian and Soviet history in this
rich collection of essays. The range and high quality
of the contributions reflect the broadening of social
and cultural directions that has characterized 'new
history'; issues of the Russian borderland, especially
Ukraine, the Caucasus and Central Asia, receive a prominent
treatment as a key part of Russian and Soviet history.
Too, studies in this volume show sensitivity to the
multicultural nature of Russian society and culture.
