THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE SLAVING AND LIBERATION 1480-...

The monograph realigns political culture and countermeasures against slave raids  which
increased during the breakup of the Golden Horde. By physical defense of the open steppe border
and by embracing the New Israel symbolism in which the exodus from slavery in Egypt prefigures
the exodus of Russian captives from Tatar captivity  Muscovites found a defensive model to
expand empire. Recent scholarly debates on slaving are innovatively applied to Russian and
imperial history  challenging entrenched perceptions of Muscovy.
