Review
"... a signal contribution to a growing literature on a phenomenon that has become tragically pervasive in the 20th century... This highly original account combines exemplary empirical research with the judicious application of diverse methods to explore the far-reaching ramifications of 'a whole empire walking.'" oVucinich Prize citation "An important contribution not only to modern Russian history but also to an ongoing repositioning of Russia in broader European and world historical processes... elegantly written ... highly innovative." oEurope-Asia Studies
