Reviews

A significant study that enhances scholarly understanding of Russian Orthodox nationalism in the nineteenth century... based on an ambitious set of sources, involving a large published record of primary documents, as well as local and central archives. -Christine D. Worobec, author of Possessed: Women, Witches, and Demons in Imperial Russia This book will be of great interest to scholars interested in Russia as empire, in the development and dissemination of Russian Orthodox nationalism in the nineteenth century, and in the relationship between religion and empire in imperial Russia....Since it deals to such an extent with the building of many of the sightseeing destinations of present-day Crimea, I would also recommend it to visitors to Crimea who seek a deeper understanding of the peninsula and its history more generally. Heather J. Coleman, Journal of Ukrainian Studies
