Media Reviews

In this remarkable and powerful work, researchers from Central Asia bridge the scholarly and the personal to examine the devastating toll of Stalinist repression and its afterlife in the region. The volume highlights the vibrancy of scholarship in Central Asia, and many authors are available here in English for the first time. -- Sarah Cameron, University of Maryland, College Park
Stalinism in Kazakhstan succeeds in its larger purpose of promoting Central Asian scholarship and contextualizing Stalinist Kazakhstan within the larger Soviet narratives on Stalinist repression, memory studies, and artistic development without having to do so exclusively through the lens of ethnicity or Soviet nationality policy. It is refreshing to see Central Asian and Kazakhstani scholarship moving in this direction. * The Russian Review *
