Reviews
'States of Obligation is destined to emerge as a classic not only for historians but also for political scientists and economists with an interest in imperial and Soviet Russia.' -- Scott Gehlbach Kritika Explorations in Russian and Eurasian History vol 17:03:2016 'This book opens the door to new questions related to the means by which state, population, and economy intersect in Russia and elsewhere. The author and press are to be congratulated for blessing us with these intellectual provocations.' -- David W. Darrow Revolutionary Russia November 2015 'As a study of both reformist and revolutionary state fiscal policy, an important area that has been much neglected, this is an intellectually sophisticated and stimulating work.' -- Steven Hoch American Historical review, December 2015 'Kotsonis's work offers much food for thought. For specialists or fellow travelers in Russian business history and economic history, this book is required reading.' -- Steven Nafziger EH.Net January 2016 'With its unique focus on taxation, States of Obligation makes an important contribution to the field of Russian and Soviet studies... It should be of interest to those examining issues concerning the modernizing state and definitions of citizenship.' -- Sharon A. Kowalsky Canadian Journal of History vol 51:02:2016 'Yanni Kotsonis has given us an erudite book, rich with insight. It is well worth reading.' -- Frank Wcislo Journal of Modern History vol 89:01:2017 'Yanni Kotsonis provides a stimulating and important history of the transformation of state obligations in nineteenth and early twentieth century Russia.' -- John Randolph Slavic Review vol 75:02:2016 Yanni Kotsonis has written an original and magisterial work that will change the way we understand and teach Russian and Soviet history ... Like all great books, it will be read and referenced by generations of historians ... This is a superb work of scholarship - comprehensive, meticulously researched, illuminating, and humane. -- Golfo Alexopoulos The Russian Review
