SUMMARY:Grey zones: Opium Trade\, Migrations\, and Empires in Central and Northeast Asia\, 1900s-1930s
DESCRIPTION:watch on youtube live\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Niccolò Pianciola\, Associate Professor of History\, University of PaduaModerator: Nargis Kassenova\, Senior Fellow; Director\, Program on Central Asia\, Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies \n\n\n\nBy comparing the border area between Turkestan and Xinjiang with the region in the Russian Far East bordering Manchuria\, the talk will explore how the cross-border opium economy connected the Tsarist Empire and then the USSR to China and to the larger global opium market. It will also highlight the ambiguous status between legality and illegality in which opium remained during this period of imperial competition and state collapse\, and the contradictions in both Tsarist and early Soviet rule of these two key Asian borderlands. \n\n\n\nAlso available on YouTube Live.
