This study of Russia's colonial expansion across the Eurasian steppe is "a tremendously important contribution to the field of Russian history" (Valerie Kivelson).

From the decline of the Mongol Golden Horde to the end of the 18th century, the Russian government expanded its influence and power throughout its southern borderlands. The process of incorporating these lands and peoples into the Russian Empire was not only a military and political struggle but also a cultural contest between the indigenous worlds of the steppe and Russian imperial hegemony.
Drawing on sources and archival materials in Russian and Turkic languages, Michael Khodarkovsky presents a complex picture of the encounter between the Russian authorities and native peoples. A major contribution to the comparative study of empires and frontiers, "no other work treats Moscow's colonial expansion to the south and east so competently" (Russia).
