TERRY MARTIN (Chicago, USA) THE EMPIRE' S NEWFRONTIERS: NEW RUSSIA'S PATH FROM FRONTIER TO OKRAINA 1774-1920 From 1774 to 1791, the Russian empire conquered the sparsely popu- lated lands north of the Black Sea and named this frontier region New Russia. The name New Russia symbolized the Russian government's inten- tion to integrate this new region rapidly into the social and economic struc- tures of old Russia.. By 1861, following decades of rapid demographic and economic growth, it was felt that this goal had been achieved. By 1917, however, New Russia was once again being viewed as a frontier region.
