Russian Azerbaijan, 1905-1920 : the shaping of national identity in a Muslim community
"Russian Azerbaijan, 1905–1920: The Shaping of a National Identity in a Muslim Community" by Tadeusz Swietochowski examines the emergence of national identity among Azerbaijanis—the Turkic-speaking Muslims residing in Russia's borderland with Iran—during the early twentieth century. The book focuses on the period from the 1905 Russian Revolution, when Azerbaijanis began articulating their national aspirations, to the establishment of the Soviet Azerbaijani Republic in 1920. Central to the narrative is the development of ideas and actions that fostered a new collective identity among the Muslim population, leading to a sense of nationality. Swietochowski's work provides a comprehensive analysis of this transformative era in Azerbaijani history
