Rethinking the history of Northern Eurasia

Review by Arina Fedorova

Central Asian horsemen in traditional robes and hats ride across a landscape, carrying spears, under dramatic skies with sunlight breaking through clouds.

In A New Imperial History of Northern Eurasia, 1700–1918: From Russian to Global History (Bloomsbury, 2025), Marina B. Mogilner, Alexander Semyonov, Ilya V. Gerasimov, and Sergey Glebov present a de-centred history of Northern Eurasia. Arina Fedorova writes that the book is an excellent entry point and an invitation to reassemble historical thinking about the region.
