"Starting fr…om a tiny core, the Principality of Moscow eventually developed into a Russian-dominated empire which has now become the Soviet Union. It is the third-largest empire that has ever existed, ranking after the British and Mongol empires but having far outlasted them both. This book charts the story of Russian colonial growth up to the 1917 Revolution - much, though not all, of it at the expense of Muslim lands and the Islamic way of life. And colonial features do persist, even today. Although various degrees of autonomy have been granted since 1917 to the conquered areas, and socio-economic assistance programmes have succeeded in raising living standards, Russian political control remains essentially intact. Thus a knowledge of how Tsarist Russia expanded across the endless steppes, forests and taigas is an indispensable background for the understanding of contemporary Moscow policies towards non-Russian nationalities conquered during the process of empire building. Russian colonial expansion to 1917 is the work of ten different authors, each a specialist in his or her field. It will make thought-provoking reading for all those interested in Russian history, and for those concerned for the survival of the Muslim spirit in a vast empire with little sympathy for religion.".
