Description: In the wake of the USSR's collapse, more than 25 million Russians found themselves living outside Russian territory. Just as uncertain as their citizenship status was the role they would play in the future - whether as homeless refugees in an unstable Russia or as a minority group of uncertain loyalty in other former Soviet republics. This volume, prepared under the sponsorship of the Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies, offers a comprehensive and amply documented examination of these questions.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
Papers presented at the conference "Russian minorities in the former Soviet Union," which was held at Michigan State University on May 22-24, 1992.
