There is a lot of talk and writing about what a nation is. There is a huge body of scientific literature on this issue, and new studies appear every year. But despite the fact that this concept plays a key role in political life, it has very limited value as an analytical tool. Why has this been the case? How did the meaning of "nation" change in Europe from antiquity to modernity? When was the concept of "nation" internalized in Russia, and how did its meaning and role in the public sphere change in our country? How did social sciences interpret the concept of "nation" in the XIX-XXI centuries? Is it possible to give a scientific definition of this concept? How do we use the concept of "nation" in political debates in modern Russia? All this is discussed in the book by Alexei Miller, professor at the European University in St. Petersburg and the Central European University in Budapest, a leading Russian expert on the history of nations and nationalism.
