"In The Eastern International Masha Kirasirova tells a fascinating history of individuals, states, and empires. This important and well-argued book will inspire new debates in Middle Eastern Studies, Central Asian Studies, Soviet Studies, and Jewish History. Through its careful reconstruction of Soviet-Middle Eastern relations, it convincingly argues that we should not treat each of these scholarly subfields as separate. Rather, by combining archives,networks, and the movements of ideas, peoples, and policies across Soviet Russia, the Middle East, and Central Asia, The Eastern International considers these fields as a whole. It suggests new imaginings ofthe concept of the East in ways that move beyond the Eurocentric significations of the term, and it offers exciting intellectual imaginings in their stead." -- Orit Bashkin, University of Chicago"Kirasirova's long-awaited book fills in a critical blank spot in Western coverage of relations between metropolitan Soviet Russia, Central Asia, and the Global South (especially the Arab world). She has tapped a trove of archival material largely untouched by scholars to date and applied her impressive analytical skills in processing it. The result is a highly original study that challenges many of the current clichés about metropolitan-colonialinterrelations in the Afro-Asian and Soviet worlds." -- Katerina Clark, author of Eurasia Without Borders: Leftists Dream of a Literary Commons, 1919-1943"This is a fascinating study of the relationship between the domestic and foreign 'Easts' across the Soviet period. It exposes new ways to understand the USSR as a state set on global influence and also replete with contradictions in the way it treated non-European peoples. Masha Kirasirova shows how authors, filmmakers, and party members could use the ambivalences of Soviet rule to their advantage but also that there were always limits on their ability to act.The focus on Jewish-Arab tensions and on cultural diplomacy and the central role of Central Asia in Soviet Cold War transnational relationships are unique contributions." -- Jeff Sahadeo, author ofRussian Colonial Society in Tashkent, 1865-1923"With The Eastern International, Masha Kirasirova has authored an important contribution to a growing historiography of books that connect Soviet history and Central Asian history with the study of the Middle East." -- Timothy Nunan, The Russian Review, "In The Eastern International Masha Kirasirova tells a fascinating history of individuals, states, and empires.

Synopsis
The Eastern International traces how the concept "East" (Vostok) was used by the world's first communist state and its mediators to project, channel, and contest power across Eurasia. It highlights the roles played in this process by Jewish activists, Arab intellectuals, and Central Asian politicians and artists., In the first few years after the Russian Revolution, an ideological project coalesced to link the development of what Stalin demarcated as the internal "East"--primarily Central Asia and the Caucasus--with nation-building, the overthrow of colonialism, and progress toward socialism in the "foreign East"--the Third World. Support for anti-colonial movements abroad was part of the Communist Party platform and shaped Soviet foreign policy to varying degrees thereafter. The Eastern International explores how the concept of "the East" was used by the world's first communist state and its mediators to project, channel, and contest power across Eurasia. Masha Kirasirova traces how this policy was conceptualized and carried out by students, comrades, and activists--Arab, Jewish, and Central Asian. It drew on their personal motivations and gave them considerable access to state authority and agency to shape Soviet ideology, inform concrete decisions, and allocate resources. Contextualizing these Eastern mediators within a global frame, this book historicizes the circulation of peoples and ideas between the socialist and decolonizing world and reinscribes Soviet history into postcolonial studies and global history., In initial years after the Russian Revolution, an ideological project coalesced that linked the development of what Stalin demarcated as the internal "East"-primarily Central Asia and the Caucasus-with nation-building, the overthrow of colonialism, and progress toward socialism in the "foreign East"-the Third World.
