"This book traces transformations in German views of Russia in the first half of the
twentieth century, leading up to the disastrous German invasion of the Soviet Union
in 1941. Casteel shows how Russia figured in the imperial visions and utopian desires
of a variety of Germans, including scholars, journalists, travel writers, government
and military officials, as well as nationalist activists. He illuminates the ambiguous
position that Russia occupied in Germans' global imaginary as both an imperial rival
and an object of German power. During the interwar years in particular, Russia, now
under Soviet rule, became a site onto which Germans projected their imperial ambitions
and expectations for the future, as well as their worst anxieties about modernity.
Casteel shows how the Nazis drew on this cultural repertoire to construct their own
devastating vision of racial imperialism"
