Edited by Ihor Kamenetsky, this rigorous anthology brings together leading academic voices to chronicle the profound tensions between Marxist-Leninist doctrine and the ethnic, cultural, and political realities of the diverse Soviet republics — a conflict that would ultimately shape the fate of one of history's most powerful empires.\n\nPublished under the auspices of the Association for the Study of the Nationalities (USSR and East Europe), the volume argues that modernization in the Soviet context was never a neutral technocratic process, but a deeply contested terrain where questions of sovereignty, cultural survival, and political freedom were perpetually at stake. Drawing on political science, history, and sociology, the contributors illuminate the mechanisms by which the Soviet state sought to suppress national consciousness while inadvertently fuelling its resurgence. For scholars and students of Cold War politics, Soviet history, and human rights theory, this collection remains an essential — and prescient — lens through which to understand the disintegration that would follow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130505535707,"sku":"2026200010644-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f90c3bfe-e69f-420e-8271-0246a8c852a0.png?v=1786586328","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010644-secondhand-nationalism-and-human-rights-processes-of-modernization-in-the-ussr","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
