The Azerbaijani Turks

Power and Identity under Russian Rule

About this book

Discover the definitive historical study of Caucasia, examining how centuries of imperial dominion, cultural transformation, and economic revolution shaped modern South Caucasus politics.

In The Azerbaijani Turks: Power and Identity under Russian Rule, historian Audrey L. Altstadt delivers a groundbreaking examination of a pivotal Muslim community navigating tsarist expansion, Bolshevik revolution, and Soviet statehood. Drawing on archival research in Baku, this study traces the social shifts that created modern national consciousness across the Caspian basin.

Readers will explore key developments including:

  • The pre-revolutionary Baku oil boom and the rise of early labor organizations
  • The short-lived Azerbaijan Democratic Republic and its intellectual leaders
  • Sovietization, cultural purges, and centralized political control
  • The origins of the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute and late-Soviet national mobilization

Essential for regional specialists and historians, this volume provides indispensable context for understanding post-Soviet geopolitics and Caspian history.
