| Title | After the Zaporizhia. Dissolution, reorganization, and transformation of borderland military in 1775-1835 |
| Summary | The study focuses on the Russian imperial policies towards the Cossacks in the New Russia region at the turn of the 18th – 19th centuries. The reorganisation of the Frontier communities is analysed not just as integrationist project, but as interplay between the Frontier tradition and state need for resources extraction. The emphasis is on the difficulties of state policies in the borderland region and flexibility of the imperial rule. Traditionally, the history of the Cossackdom in the region is usually ended in the 1775 and the whole process of the borderland integration is portrayed as a resistance of the Cossacks to the more and more centralising state. The author reassess this experience and argues that many state policies, traditionally portrayed as concessionairy, in fact could have intentional character as well as the Frontier was not always only an obstacle in state-building process but also a rather valuable asset. |
