The book by Alexander Etkind, a renowned philologist and historian and professor at the European University Institute in Florence, tells the story of how the Russian Empire seized foreign territories and developed its own lands, colonizing many peoples, including Russians themselves. Etkind speaks at length about the limits of applying Western notions of colonialism and orientalism to Russian culture, about the formation of the language of self-colonization among Russian historians, about serfdom and the peasant community as colonial institutions, and about the attempts of literature to resolve in its own way the problems of internal colonization posed by Russian history. Moving from history to literature and back again, Etkind provides unexpected interpretations of critical texts on the imperial experience authored by Defoe and Tolstoy, Gogol and Conrad, Kant and Bakhtin.
