It interrogates how Russia’s perception of its position on the periphery of the west and its simultaneous self-consciousness as a colonial power shaped its artistic, cultural and national identity as a heterogenous, multi-ethnic empire. It also explores the extent to which cultural practitioners participated in the discursive matrices that advanced Russia’s colonial machinery on the one hand and critiqued and challenged it on the other, especially in territories that were themselves on the fault lines between the east and the west.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword: Accounting for human diversity: the experience of Imperial Russia\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eVera Tolz\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMaria Taroutina\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Western or non-Western?
