39.99 €
A new book by Doctor of Historical Sciences A.V. Shubin completes his trilogy on the World Revolution of 1918–1923. Here, the narrative and analysis of events focus on the situations in Asian countries, where communist activity and nation-building were particularly active. Drawing on extensive literature and source material, including archival materials, A.V. Shubin examines in detail the events in the Caucasus, Central Asia, Turkey, Iran, the Russian Far East, Mongolia, and China. Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of the events in these vast regions and become acquainted with a multitude of interesting and vibrant personalities. Even seasoned readers will learn a great deal about the emergence of the communist movement from Turkey to China, and the nuances of national communism and left-wing nationalism.
Considerable attention is paid to conceptual questions: can events in Asia be approached with European standards, and if so, how? What were the prerequisites for initiating what was called the construction of socialism, and what exactly was it? What determines the borders of nation states that have become familiar today? The book shows how the events of 1918–1923 (some of the book's themes extend to 1924) tested situations and political approaches that would later be repeated in many events of the 20th century. The processes whose foundations were laid in that pivotal era continue to influence the development of countries located south of Russia.
