Ethnic Relations in the USSR (1986) focuses on popular ethnic attitudes and behaviour among the various nations and nationalities of the Soviet Union. Ethnicity matters not only in Soviet high politics and in economic and cultural planning, but is also a dominant force in the daily lives of many Soviet citizens. Using a combination of political and sociological methods, the author draws out the patterns and determinants of ethnic relations among the major nationalities at both the group and individual levels.

‘This work is in many ways a pioneering study… Dr Karklins’ study, and the large and painstaking and thoughtful survey of which it is the product, must surely qualify for the distinction of being the first full-scale and comprehensive attack on the subject using the approach and apparatus of [ethnosociology]’ – Central Asian Survey
