Wheeler, Geoffrey.

Racial Problems in Soviet Muslim Asia. - 2nd ed. - London Oxford University Press 1962 - 67 p.

Colonel GEOFFREY WHEELER first wrote this short study in 1960
with the aim of describing the impact of the Russians and their
civilization on the Muslim peoples of the eastern republics of
the U.S.S.R. (Kazakhstan, Kirgizia, Tadzhikistan, Uzbekistan,
Turkmenistan, and Azerbaydzhan). The study begins with two
historical chapters; these are followed by four chapters dealing with
the demographic, cultural, social and economic impacts; the last
chapter is concerned with the Soviet attitude towards the non-
Soviet east. There are two appendixes, one describing the source
material used and the other showing the distribution of the Muslim
population in the U.S.S.R., and two maps.
For this second edition, Chapter IV and Appendix B have been
revised in the light of the 1959 Census.
