The current struggles over nationality policy in Russia and in neighboring states are rooted in the history of the Narkomnats and in policies that Stalin established as Commissar. This history, based in large part on primary research, describes the Commissariat of Nationalities from 1917 to 1924, Stalin's role as its chief, and the policies that were the origins of the current ethnic dilemmas throughout the now collapsed Soviet Empire. This rich history is intended for scholars, students, and policymakers in European history and Slavic studies, and for general readers interested in the background of political and social conflicts in the former Soviet republics today.
STEPHEN BLANK, Professor of Soviet Studies and National Security Analyst at the Strategic Studies Institute of the U.S. Army War College, coedited The Soviet Military and the Future with Jacob Kipp (1993). He is also the author of War and the New Thinking: Soviet Policies in Central and Latin America (1992) and Operational Strategic Lessons of the Soviet War in Afghanistan (1991).
