It proposes to study the colonisation of the self, not as similar to the colonisation of peoples deemed in colonial discourse to be other, but rather as the subjugation of people belonging to the Russian self. As such, it is not to be conflated with the colonisation of others. Drawing upon examples from Russian literature, the article then offers some examples of how representatives of the Russian self, particularly the peasant class, were othered and subjugated by reforms and by discourse that show how discriminatory and arbitrary laws were when it came to the treatment of peasants in both the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Imperial & Commonwealth History is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
