Zabilješke: Originally Richard Pipes's 1950 doctoral dissertation at Harvard University, the book explores the collapse of tsarist rule and the subsequent re-establishment of centralized control over the borderlands. According to Richard Pipes, Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks strategically used the slogan of "national self-determination" as a tactical tool. They catered to ethnic minority aspirations in regions like Ukraine, Belorussia, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and the Volga-Ural area to help secure power. The text gained renewed scholarly attention following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, as the same ethnic borderlands analyzed by Richard Pipes re-emerged as independent nation-states.
