This study of Russian mobilization in the Great War explores how the war shaped national identity and conceptions of citizenship.

Recenzje

'Stockdale's work is highly effective in synthesizing a variety of sources to create a well-rounded picture of the concept of patriotism during the war. The result is a nuanced and balanced assessment of the issue, indicating that concepts of patriotism and citizenship were dynamic and fluid, but certainly present. As such, it is an important contribution to the growing body of literature on Russia's Great War.' Laurie S. Stoff, European History Quarterly
