Three Centuries of Russian Influence in the Balkans: 17

This landmark edited collection explores various aspects of Russian influence in the Balkan region over the past three centuries. The result of a research project by the Balkan Historical Association, this landmark edited collection explores various aspects of Russian influence in the Balkan region over the past three centuries. The concepts of Pan-Slavism and the Slavic brotherhood are well established due to long-established historical, religious and cultural ties. But relations between the Balkan countries and Russia have never been static. In this context, the authors of this volume aim to address Russia’s changing interests in the Balkans, and the responses from Balkan countries and other Great Power competitors. Perhaps most importantly, what might this long and complex historical engagement mean for the future of the area and for possible conflicts to come? The volume, which is a project initiated by the Balkan History Association brings together an impressive range of disciplinary expertise to address these questions and many others, and will be of interest to all those engaged in historical research on South-East Europe.
