• Description

  For a few brief weeks in fall 2020, Western media buzzed with news of the intense war between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces in Nagorno-Karabakh, an Armenian-populated region that declared independence from Azerbaijan in 1991. The conflict had been “frozen” since a 1994 ceasefire, so the new outbreak of violence caught many journalists unawares. By contrast, this conflict has been a mainstay of sorts in the Soviet, then Russian press. The sheer volume of published material – including eyewitness accounts, interviews with notable figures, and incisive, well-researched analyses – far exceeds anything produced by Western media. Moscow’s knowledge of the region is as strong as it is permanent, dictated mainly by geopolitical interests. The present collection of articles – carefully culled, translated, and edited from a vast repository of Russian-language press curated by East View – presents in book form for the first time in English some of the most important material that has appeared through the duration of the conflict, from 1988 to the present. By bringing together this unique collection, East View Press aims to provide readers with the immediate context of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict as seen and understood in Moscow, along with some insight into its complex historical, political and ethnic underpinnings. BLACK GARDEN AFLAME will be of interest to specialists and general readers alike. Price for this format includes an institutional license with unlimited access.
