  7. There is also the “constructivist” view on nationality. Yelena Peschereva, a field
    ethnographer for KIPS in Central Asia, stated that she “ ‘had given birth to thousands of
    Tajiks’ by simply registering them as such, so as to suit the purposes of the Committee on
    national- territorial delimitation. Even more Tajiks were registered as Uzbeks.” See Tishkov,
    Ethnicity, Nationalism and Conflict in and after the Soviet Union, 20.

  8. Some Rus sian historians disagree. Instead, they believe that Soviet anthropology
    contained no teachings that could be construed as “race” (inheritable traits) or essentialism;
    see Hirsch, Empire of Nations, 108.

  9. Bruce Grant interviewed Zakharii Cherniakov one of the last surviving stu-
    dents of Shternberg in 1997. He asked Cherniakov, “Did Shternberg ever talk about [Franz]
    Boas?” Cherniakov replied, “Shternberg did, and Bogoraz especially. They both considered
    themselves to be students of Boas.” Boas was one of the most preeminent primordialists
    among anthropologists. See Shternberg, The Social Or ga ni za tion of the Gilyak, 248. Regard-
    ing Soviet eugenics, see David L. Hoffman and Annette F. Timm, “Utopian Biopolitics:
    Reproductive Policies, Gender Roles, and Sexuality in Nazi Germany and the Soviet
    Union” in Beyond Totalitarianism: Stalinism and Nazism Compared, ed. Sheila Fitzpatrick

  15. “Difficult too is the task of judging what the implications were of the Soviet
    Union employing Koreans in their military activities.” See Patrikeef, Rus sian Politics in Exile,
    106, on the brief war; chapter 6 of Patrikeef ’s book covers the brief 1929 Sino- Soviet War
    in detail.
