"There is a long-held feeling in Russia that Moscow is the true heir to the Christian
Byzantine Empire. In 1894, Imperial Russia opened one of the world's leading centres
for Byzantine archaeology in Istanbul, the Russian Archaeological Institute - its
purpose was to stake the claim that Russia was the correct heir to 'Tsargrad' (as
Istanbul was referred to in Russian circles). This then is the history of that institute,
and the history of Russia's efforts to reclaim its Middle East - events since in the
Crimea, Syria and Georgia are all to some extent wrapped up in that historical framework.
Ure looks at the founding of the Russian Archaeological Institute, its aims and its
place in the 'digging-race' which characterised the late Imperial phase of modern
history. Above all she shows how the practise of history has been used as a political
tool, a form of "soft power". This book will appeal to Byzantine scholars and archaeologists
as well as historians of Russia in the late 19th century."--Bloomsbury Publishing
