Trade Review
"[T]he book is engaging, well written, and perceptive. It is an important contribution to improving our understanding of indigenous life in the Soviet and post-Soviet Subarctic." -- ARCTIC
"Ssorin-Chaikov merits the highest commendation for producing this oustanding work of scholarship." -- Slavic Review
"The Social Life of State is an impressive book. It makes intelligent and well-balanced use of archival material along with the fieldwork observations, and it is highly successful in problematizing the volatility of 'authenticity' as a social and cultural category for the indigenous populations as wells as for the Russians." -- Journal of Modern History
