"Over two thousand miles long, the boundary between Russia and China is the world's longest land border. Though sometimes considered a backwater, the border region was always of critical geopolitical importance and has a fascinating history. Not only did this border divide the two largest Eurasian empires, it was also the place where European and Asian civilizations met, where nomads and settled peoples mingled, where the imperial interests of Russia, China, and Japan clashed, and where both conflicts and gestures of friendship between the world's largest Communist regimes were staged. This book is a history of this border from the late nineteenth century until the fall of the Soviet Union. The border has undergone a remarkable transformation since the late nineteenth century. As late as the 1920s, Russian, Chinese, and native worlds were intricately interwoven in the region, and the frontier was barely regulated. By the end of the twentieth century, however, the two countries had succeeded in cutting kin, cultural, economic, and religious connections between the two sides through deportation, forced assimilation, and nationalist propaganda campaigns. Only with the collapse of the Soviet Union would China and Russia reopen the border, but even today the line between countries demarcates two distinct regions with remarkably different worldviews and cultures. Drawing on sources in seven languages, including extensive archival research, interviews, and oral histories, Urbansky stresses the significant role of the local population in supporting, or more often undermining, the two states' border-making efforts"--

How will Russia redraw post-Soviet borders? In the wake of recent Russian expansionism, political risk expert Agnia Grigas illustrates how--for more than two decades--Moscow has consistently used its compatriots in bordering nations for its territorial ambitions. Demonstrating how this policy has been implemented in Ukraine and Georgia, Grigas provides cutting-edge analysis of the nature of Vladimir Putin's foreign policy and compatriot protection to warn that Moldova, Kazakhstan, the Baltic States, and others are also at risk.

In the tumultuous landscape of international relations, few events have left an indelible mark on the course of history as the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. This watershed moment unfolded in the 21st century, reshaping geopolitical dynamics and triggering a chain of events that reverberated across the global stage. The 21st century dawned with a promise of progress and unity, yet beneath the surface, geopolitical tensions simmered, and power dynamics were shifting. As the world grappled with the challenges of a rapidly changing political landscape, the clash between Russia and Ukraine emerged as a defining chapter in the unfolding narrative of international relations. The seeds of this conflict were sown in the complex tapestry of historical, cultural, and political ties that bound Russia and Ukraine. Both nations shared a tangled history, shaped by periods of cooperation and contention. The 21st-century invasion, however, would expose the fault lines that had long existed beneath the surface, threatening to fracture the delicate balance that had been maintained for decades. The stage was set in the early years of the 21st century when Russia, under the leadership of a resolute and assertive government, began flexing its geopolitical muscles. The annexation of Crimea in 2014 served as an ominous precursor to the larger conflict that would unfold in the years to come. The strategic importance of Crimea, with its historical ties to Russia and access to vital naval bases, provided a glimpse into the motivations driving Moscow's actions. The invasion itself unfolded with a speed and intensity that caught the international community off guard. In the early stages, the world watched in shock and disbelief as Russian forces surged across the Ukrainian border, triggering a cascade of events that would shape the course of the conflict. The 21st-century tools of warfare-cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns, and hybrid tactics-added a layer of complexity to the traditional military maneuvers, blurring the lines between conventional and unconventional warfare. The geopolitical fallout was swift and far-reaching. The international community, already grappling with a myriad of challenges, found itself at a crossroads. Diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the conflict were met with skepticism and mistrust, as the world witnessed the erosion of established norms and the rise of a new era of geopolitical assertiveness. As the conflict unfolded, the human cost became increasingly evident. Cities and towns became battlegrounds, and the civilian population bore the brunt of the violence. The images of displaced families, shattered infrastructure, and the human toll of war brought a stark reality to the forefront-a reality that demanded global attention and action. The conflict also exposed the deep-seated divisions within the international community. While some nations rallied in support of Ukraine, others remained cautious or openly aligned with Russia. The United Nations became a forum for impassioned debates, reflecting the divergent perspectives and interests at play. In the aftermath of the invasion, the geopolitical landscape underwent a seismic shift. The scars left by the conflict served as a stark reminder of the fragility of peace and the challenges inherent in navigating the complex web of international relations. The book "Russia's Invasion of Ukraine" delves into the intricacies of this defining moment in history, offering a nuanced and comprehensive exploration of the events that unfolded in the 21st century. Through meticulous research and a keen understanding of the geopolitical forces at play, the narrative weaves together the threads of history, politics, and human experience, providing readers with a captivating and insightful journey into one of the most significant conflicts of our time.

China and Russia are rising economic and political powers that share thousands of miles of border. Despite their proximity, their interactions with each other - and with their third neighbour Mongolia - are rarely discussed. Although the three countries share a boundary, their traditions, languages and worldviews are remarkably different. Frontier Encounters presents a wide range of views on how the borders between these unique countries are enacted, produced, and crossed. It sheds light on global uncertainties: China's search for energy resources and the employment of its huge population, Russia's fear of Chinese migration, and the precarious independence of Mongolia as its neighbours negotiate to extract its plentiful resources. Bringing together anthropologists, sociologists and economists, this timely collection of essays offers new perspectives on an area that is currently of enormous economic, strategic and geo-political relevance.

Beyond the Amur describes the distinctive frontier society that developed in the Amur, a river region that shifted between Qing China and Imperial Russia as the two empires competed for natural resources. Although official imperial histories depict the Amur as a distant battleground between rival empires, this colourful history of a region and its people tells a different story. Drawing on both Russian and Chinese sources, Victor Zatsepine shows that both empires struggled to maintain the border. But much to the chagrin of imperial administrators, various peoples – Chinese, Russian, Indigenous, Japanese, Korean, Manchu, and Mongol – moved freely across it in pursuit of work and trade, exchanging ideas and knowledge as they adapted to the harsh physical environment. By viewing the Amur as a unified natural economy caught between two empires, Zatsepine highlights the often-overlooked influence of regional developments on imperial policies and the importance of climate and geography to local, state, and imperial histories.

This volume examines Russian discourses of regionalism as a source of identity construction practices for the country's political and intellectual establishment. The overall purpose of the monograph is to demonstrate that, contrary to some assumptions, the transition trajectory of post-Soviet Russia has not been towards a liberal democratic nation state that is set to emulate Western political and normative standards. Instead, its foreign policy discourses have been constructing Russia as a supranational community which transcends Russia's current legally established borders. The study undertakes a systematic and comprehensive survey of Russian official (authorities) and semi-official (establishment affiliated think tanks) discourse for a period of seven years between 2007 and 2013. This exercise demonstrates how Russia is being constructed as a supranational entity through its discourses of cultural and economic regionalism. These discourses associate closely with the political project of Eurasian economic integration and the "Russian world" and "Russian civilization" doctrines. Both ideologies, the geoeconomic and culturalist, have gained prominence in the post-Crimean environment. The analysis tracks down how these identitary concepts crystallized in Russia's foreign policies discourses beginning from Vladimir Putin's second term in power.
