Search by topic:   10091. THE BATTLE OF BAKU: ETHNIC CONFLICT, MILITARY REPRESSION AND NATIONALISM IN THE SOVIET UNION. This paper examines rising nationalism in the Soviet Union through a case analysis of the battle of Baku. Background on the Azerbaijani-Armenian conflict and events leading up to the violent eruptions of January 1990 are presented and analyzed. The varying roles of territorial claims, religious differences, and central government policies as causal factors in the conflict are considered. To the extent possible – given widespread censorship and propaganda efforts of both Soviet official news agencies and the Populist Front – the specific details of the military intervention are analyzed. Particular attention is devoted to the disparity between the central government’s stated objective of resolving ethnic conflict and its hidden agenda of suppressing nationalism. The causes, outcomes and ramifications of the battle are then considered within the broader context of Soviet ethnic conflicts and emergent nationalism in the late 1980s.
