评亚历山大·莫里森的《俄国在撒马尔罕的统治，1868～1910：与英属印度的比较》

Abstract:Alexander Morrison’s Russian Rule in Samarkand，1868-1910 is a recent historical study of the Russian Empire in Central Asia. Through the study of Samarkand region，governed by the Turkestan Governor-Generalship，the author delves into various sources to demonstrate the Governor-Generalship’s policy goals and implementation in various aspects such as religion，land ownership，taxation，irrigation and judicial institutions. The author considers that the Russian rule in Turkestan was a failure. On the one hand，a frontier government of the Tsarist Empire，the Turkestan Governor-Generalship never had enough financial and human resources to penetrate the societies below the district level（uezd）. On the other hand，such a failure was fundamentally due to the cultural barrier and political mistrust between the military bureaucrats and the local Muslims.
