RECONSTRUCTING THE STATE

Why do some state-building efforts succeed when others fail? Using newly

available archival sources, this book presents a reinterpretation of the rise and

subsequent collapse of the Soviet state. The study explains how personal

networks and elite identity served as informal sources of power that influenced

state strength. Reconstructing the State also offers a revised explanation of how

the weak Bolshevik state extended its reach to a vast rural and multiethnic

periphery as well as the dynamics of the center—regional conflict in the 1930s

that culminated in the Great Terror.

Gerald M. Easter is an Assistant Professor in the Political Science Department

at Boston College.
