This afternoon I published my first paper on Academia.edu! 🙂 It is basically an edited, slightly expanded, and better cited version of what I already posted here on Soviet nationalities policy and national territorial delimitation. I thought posting it on a larger, more academic website might help my writing gain more publicity and recognition, especially since no other paper or website seemed interested in sharing it. Although it is a small step for this office clerk and sometimes truck driver, I am excited about it 🙂
