Creating a Russian Colonial Community: City, Nation, and Empire in Tashkent, 1865--1923
type: CreativeWork
description: Russians defended their identity as members of a distinct colonial community. Even as they asserted their links to Europe and Russia, settlers consistently resisted central dictates. Colonial residents across the social scale argued that their special role as emissaries of European civilization had engendered a unique society and culture in the city. Settler autonomy threatened to undermine the ideals of the soviet regime in the early 1920s, forcing a crackdown from the metropole.
