 Russian Central Asia in the Works of Nikolai Karazin, 1842-1908: Ambivalent Triumph by Elena Andreeva English | EPUB | 2021 | 374 Pages | ISBN : 3030363376 | 49.2 MB "The manuscript provides a deep reading of Nikolai Karazin's works and his relationship with Central Asia. Certainly, Elena Andreeva shows how Karazin's prolific creations have much to tell us about Russian imperialism, colonial and local society as well as Russians' self-identity as colonizers and Europeans. The work offers an original contribution to the scholarship on Russian imperial history and that of Central Asia, and Russian literary history also. Karazin's importance-at the time and now-is appropriately highlighted."

The educated public back home was able to gain an understanding of the diversity in nature. This eventually led to the development of new ways of regarding the natural world and the eventual development of a coherent theory of organic evolution.
