Thesis (Ph.D.)--Harvard University, 2002.

This thesis examines how the unbound world of the Don steppe frontier became a borderland of the Russian empire. It connects the rivalry of the Russian and Ottoman states in the Black Sea basin to the social history of the Don Cossacks, who evolved from an open, multiethnic, fraternity dedicated to frontier raiding into a closed, ethnic community devoted to defending and advancing the boundaries of the Russian state. In the reign of Peter I, these two histories come together. The nomadic, non-state world of the steppe, where ethnic, religious, social, and political boundaries were blurred, was forever transformed. The triumph of the state, symbolized by the creation of borders, institution of identity checks, and destruction/deportation of dissidents, facilitated the closing of the Cossack community. The creation of boundaries between Russians and Cossacks enabled the Don region's separate deal with the tsar to outlive the closing of the original steppe frontier in 1739 and to persist until the end of the empire itself.

It connects the rivalry of the Russian and Ottoman states in the Black Sea basin to the social history of the Don Cossacks, who evolved from an open, multiethnic, fraternity dedicated to frontier raiding into a closed, ethnic community devoted to defending and advancing the boundaries of the Russian state. In the reign of Peter I, these two histories come together.

520 $a While Cossacks and nomads have often been portrayed as agents of empire in a great struggle by Russian and Ottoman forces to control the north Black Sea coast, my study instead focuses on a common frontier world that was shaped by both groups. Subsistence was based on exploiting natural resources, raiding, and government subsidies. Because Cossacks and nomads constantly raided and captured each other, economic exchange was often linked to complex restitution and ransom activities. The decline of the frontier resulted from joint Russian and Ottoman attempts to eliminate and criminalize raiding in order to create and enforce state borders on the Black Sea plains. Adaptation to new realities made the Don Cossacks important agents in the advancement of Russian borders, while their adversaries, the Tatars, would henceforth struggle to avoid extinction along with the old steppe they cherished.
