Sibírsky autonomizmus: zdroje, prejavy, reflexie (1917–1939)

Description

The book deals with sources of Siberian autonomism which reaches to the end of the 19th century and is linked to the Siberian ”oblastnik” movement. The autonomist movement became particularly strong after 1917 and reached its peak with announcement of the Temporary Siberian Government in 1918. The fall of Admiral Kolchak’s government led representatives of the movement to emigrate. Many of them found refuge in Czechoslovakia. The ideas of Siberian autonomism therefore lived on in emigration. The book by Slovak historician and professor at the Faculty of Arts of Presov University is based on sources from Russian and Czech archives. It is the first attempt in Czecho-Slovak historiography to study this particular topic. It aims on experts, history and political science students and those interested in the Russian civil war and interwar emigration. It is written in Slovak.
