"Threads of Empire examines how Russia's imperial officials and intellectual elites
made and maintained their authority among the changing intellectual and political
currents in Eurasia from the mid-16th century to the revolution of 1917. The book
focuses on a region 750 miles east of Moscow known as Bashkiria. The region was split
nearly evenly between Russian and Turkic language speakers, both nomads and farmers.
Ufa province at Bashkiria's core had the largest Muslim population of any province
in the empire. The empire's leading Muslim official, the mufti, was based there, but
the region also hosted a Russian Orthodox bishop. Bashkirs and peasants had different
legal status and powerful Russian Orthodox and Muslim nobles dominated the peasant
estate. By the twentieth century, the presence of mines and railroads introduced the
discourse of class. Bashkiria thus presents a fascinating case study of empire in
all its complexities and of how the tsarist empire's ideology and categories of rule
changed over time"--Provided by publisher
