Graney's book focus: Russian republic of Tatarstan

Princeton scholar Mark R. Beissinger calls Kate Graney's new book an "outstanding study of the politics of Russia's largest minority," and added, "Graney details the rise and erosion of what she calls Tatarstan's 'sovereignty project,' demonstrating how this self-limiting autonomy, rather than threatening Russia's territorial integrity, has played a positive role by imbuing Russian federalism with genuine substance."
