Vvedenskii (1880-1938), orientalist and diplomat, served as Russian vice-consul in Urumiyeh in Iran and at the Russian Political Agency in Bukhara (195-20). Vladimir Genis uses his biography as a prism to examine the making and execution of Russian policy toward Iran and Bukhara before and during the revolution. Exhaustive research in Russian archives allow Genis to paint a richly detailed picture of these tumultuous years. The topics include Russian colonization of northern Iran after 1907, the struggle for reform in Bukhara in 1917, the emirate's short-lived independence (1917-1920), and its sovietization after the revolution of 1920. In addition to Vvedenskii, we meet the Kurdish leader Simko, the Assyrian general Ellov, the Bukharan millionaires Poteliakhov and Muhitdinov, and a host of Russian characters, both functionaries and revolutionaries.The book contains two appendices containing biographical information about the main Russian actors. Illustrated with 32 pages of archival photographs reproduced on glossy paper.
