Welcome to H-Russia, a member of H-Net Humanities & Social Sciences Online. H-Russia encourages scholarly discussion of Russian and Soviet studies and history and makes available diverse bibliographical, research, and teaching aids.
Thanks for these perceptive thoughts. The point is entirely taken, but some caution is required, because it would be overstretching the point to equate the Russian empire with the British or French empire, The physical and racial separation between centre and metropolis in empires with overseas territories does make a difference, I think. The Habsburg or Ottoman empire, both with contiguous territories, would be a better match.

AREA STUDIES
The study of human-animal relations is one of the most promising fields in historiography. During the past three decades, it has evolved from animal activism to a highly theorized endeavor that tries to re-situate nonhuman species in societal contexts. Ranging from the large mammals of the seas down to small birds and insects, it discusses phenomena of coevolution, culturalization and commodification.
