"Kazharski’s discussion of the 'nation as civilization' provides a valuable addition to the large body of literature on how to understand the Russian nation—as an ethnocultural, civic, or imperial community. He demonstrates how ideas and
concepts migrated from semi-official discourse to become a staple of the official
discourse...
Kazharski has delivered a solid and valuable contribution to our comprehension of the evolving understanding of 'Russianness'.”
