The workshop Spaces of Profit: Contesting Borderland Economies in the Late Russian Empire and the Soviet Union seeks to reconsider both the geography of borderlands and the historiographical category of borderland economies. Specifically, we look at the multiple ways in which spaces of profit were created, sustained, and transformed across the late Russian Empire and the Soviet Union.
