An earlier draft was presented as the keynote address on October 26, 2006 at a workshop on “Political Ethnography: What Insider Perspectives Contribute to the Study of Power” held at the University of Toronto. All further references will be cited as op. cit., workshop on Political Ethnography. I thank Edward Schatz for inviting me to give the address and for his helpful comments on it. I am grateful to my fellow participants for a most stimulating exchange of experiences and ideas. I am indebted to Marina Mogilner and Alexander Semyonov for soliciting this essay for publication and for their probing comments and questions.

I am grateful for comments on earlier drafts of this paper from workshop participants at the Social Science Research Council’s Dissertation Development Workshop “Governance and mobility in Eurasia: continuity and discontinuity” (31 March – 2 April 2006 at the University of Wisconsin, Madison) and participants at the conference “Memory, history and identity in Bessarabia and beyond” organized by Irina Livezeanu and Jennifer Cash (21-22 October 2006 at the University of Pittsburgh). I especially thank the following for taking time to read this paper and to offer helpful suggestions for its improvement: Robert Hayden, Peter Holquist, Monica Heintz, Charles King, Kimitaka Matsuzato, Jonathan Parry, Vladimir Solonari and Dmitry Tartakovsky. I also thank the anonymous reviewers of Ab Imperio.
