The Nationalities factor in Soviet politics and society

---

"Under the able editorship of Lubomyr Hajda and Mark Beissinger, The Nationalities Factor in Soviet Politics and Society offers a comprehensive portrait of the explosive nationality question in the USSR. This superb volume draws upon the contributions of an outstanding array of authors to provide the reader an authoritative overview of cultural pluralism in the Soviet Union. The momentous transformations unleashed by the glasnost' and perestroika campaigns associated with the Gorbachev era have illuminated the dilemmas of preservation of the would-be socialist commonwealth whose genesis as empire-state has been stripped naked by recent events. This timely volume provides the indispensable analytical basis for grasping the breathtaking metamorphosis in course."

-M. Crawford Young| University of Wisconsin-Madison

The myriad nationalities in the Soviet Union, with their often conflicting aspirations, are a key factor in the evolution and functioning of the Soviet system. Despite official claims that the "nationalities problem" has long been solved, the repressed demands of the diverse Soviet peoples have found vehement expression under the stimulus of Mikhail Gorbachev's policy of glasnost. The revival of nationalism and growing ethnic tensions pose a critical challenge to the Soviet leadership, raising questions about the viability of the system itself.

In this comprehensive volume, leading scholars examine the policy implications of the nationalities factor, survey recent developments in the non-Russian republics, and assess the political and social ramifications of a volatile issue that promises to pose on e of the stiffest challenges to the success of Gorbachev's reform efforts.
