Certainly the territorial disputes within the former Soviet Union have become front page news recently. This collection of essays offers some historical perspective to contemporary events by providing an analysis of eight potential or actual border disputes stemming from Soviet expansion at the end of World War II, and a discussion of the regional identities of annexed border regions within Russia. Specific treatment is given to territorial disputes concerning: Bessarabia, Northern Bukovina, Carpatho-Ukraine, Eastern Poland, East Prussia, Abrene, the East of Narva and Petserimaa, Karelia, and the Kurile Islands.
