The borders of diversity: Red lines in the Soviet experiment
Review by Aleksandr Korobeinikov

In Borders in Red (Northern Illinois University Press, 2025), Stephan Rindlisbacher examines how territorial and ethnic boundaries were constructed during the formative years of the Soviet state. Aleksandr Korobeinikov writes that the book contributes meaningfully to our understanding of empire, federalism, and the enduring institutional forms that continue to shape political life in the post-Soviet space.
