Anne Clunan's insightful and careful analysis of the interplay among five alternate Russian national self-images-Western, statist, Slavophile, neo-communist, and nationalist-is likely to be the book's most influential and enduring contribution... this very good book deserves praise and a wide audience both inside and outside the academy.
