A rigorous work of Soviet-era academic scholarship, Ethnocultural Processes and National Problems in the Modern World presents a sweeping analysis of the complex interplay between ethnic identity, cultural development, and national conflict across the globe. Edited by the prominent Soviet ethnographer and historian I. R. Grigulevich, the volume brings together scholarly perspectives that argue for a materialist understanding of how ethnicity and culture shape — and are shaped by — broader socioeconomic and political forces. The work details case studies and theoretical frameworks drawn from diverse regions, illustrating how national movements, minority rights, and cultural assimilation emerged as defining tensions of the twentieth century. Written in a measured, authoritative academic tone, it situates these phenomena within the context of decolonization, modernization, and the ideological rivalries of the Cold War era. Scholars of ethnography, political science, and Soviet intellectual history will find it an invaluable primary source for understanding how these pressing questions were framed and debated within the USSR's academic institutions.
