| | ISCIP - Perspective |
 | | Tolz reports that Russian nationalist interests were, until recently, unappreciated by the democratic movements in the RSFSR which tended to frame issues in all-union terms, ever acting the "elder brother," while denying the existence, to say nothing of the political value, of exclusively Russian concerns. |
 | | Tolz suggests that this played into the hands of conservative Russian groups such as Pamyat', Otechestvo, and the United Council of Russia, which were able to proclaim themselves the defenders of Russian national interests. |
 | | Pamyat', which has received much attention in the Western press, though significantly less attention in this monograph, belongs in this category and began as an historical society later recognized for its aggressively anti-Semitic views. |
