Abstract
ABSTRACT While the state of communications technology, the vicpen issitudes of war and revolution, and vast distances created obstacles to communication and interaction on the territory of the former Russian Empire during 1917–1918, very often during these revolutionary years, events in one region of the periphery were profoundly shaped by similar things taking place in others. Through a cross-regional and comparative analysis, this article considers the parallels between the situations in the Ukrainian and Transcaucasian theatres, and also the interactions that took place between the independent Ukrainian governments and the Transcaucasian Seim and Federation during this period, and also the ways in which the similar experiences and challenges facing the actors in these spaces, particularly among the ultimately victorious Bolsheviks, influenced their longer-term perspectives towards issues of nationalism, national sentiments, autonomy and federation in the minority regions of the periphery.
期刊介绍:
Caucasus Survey is a new peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary and independent journal, concerned with the study of the Caucasus – the independent republics of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, de facto entities in the area and the North Caucasian republics and regions of the Russian Federation. Also covered are issues relating to the Republic of Kalmykia, Crimea, the Cossacks, Nogays, and Caucasian diasporas. Caucasus Survey aims to advance an area studies tradition in the humanities and social sciences about and from the Caucasus, connecting this tradition with core disciplinary concerns in the fields of history, political science, sociology, anthropology, cultural and religious studies, economics, political geography and demography, security, war and peace studies, and social psychology. Research enhancing understanding of the region’s conflicts and relations between the Russian Federation and the Caucasus, internationally and domestically with regard to the North Caucasus, features high in our concerns.
