Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the impact of Russia's local self-governing institutions on nationalist movement mobilization in Russia.

Because the book is comparative in scope, it also contributes to debates on movement dynamics and nationalist mobilization in other national and institutional settings.
