Imperial Boundaries is a study of imperial expansion and local transformation on Russia's Don Steppe frontier during the age of Peter the Great. Brian Boeck connects the rivalry of the Russian and Ottoman empires in the northern Black Sea basin to the social history of the Don Cossacks, who were transformed from an open, democratic, multiethnic, male fraternity dedicated to frontier raiding into a closed, ethnic community devoted to defending and advancing the boundaries of the Russian state. He shows how by promoting border patrol, migration control, bureaucratic regulation of cross-border contacts and deportation of dissidents, Peter I destroyed the world of the old steppe and created a new imperial Cossack order in its place. In examining this transformation, Imperial Boundaries addresses key historical issues of imperial expansion, the delegitimization of non-state violence, the construction of borders, and the encroaching boundaries of state authority in the lives of local communities.

Rejects previous models of aggressive Russian imperial expansion to explain why Cossacks were both advocates and opponents of imperial expansion.

A major contribution to the comparative study of frontiers and borderlands.

Will appeal to scholars of early modern Russian history, early modern European state-building and imperial expansion.

一直很感兴趣的题目，论顿河哥萨克如何为俄罗斯所用，如何成为帝国的一部分。

被收编的原因之一总结来说还是僧多粥少，长时间移民导致的社会结构变化。
