Publishing in Tsarist Russia challenges this theory and, by examining the history of Russian publishing through a transnational lens, reveals how the popular press played an important and complex Imperial role, while providing a \"soft infrastructure\" which the subjects could access to change Imperial order. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs this volume convincingly argues, this is because the Russian language at this time was a lingua franca; it crossed borders and boundaries, reaching speakers of varying nationalities. Russian publications, then, were able to effectively operate within the structure of Imperialism but as a public space, they went beyond the control of the Tsar and ethnic Russians. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis exciting international team of scholars provide a much-needed, fresh take on the history of Russian publishing and contribute significantly to our understanding of print media, language and empire from the 18th to 20th centuries. \u003ci\u003ePublishing in Tsarist Russia\u003c\/i\u003e is therefore a vital resource for scholars of Russian history, comparative nationalism, and publishing studies.","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45085908598935,"sku":"9781350109339","price":13971.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781350109339.webp?v=1767898608","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/publishing-in-tsarist-russia-a-history-of-print-media-from-enlightenment-to-revolution-9781350109339","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
