I would like to thank the two commentators, Vera Tolz and Elliott Green, for their careful reading of the book and their challenging and interesting critiques. Both commentators were asked to focus on a particular aspect of the overall argument of Nation Building, and they bring their superb expertise— on Russian history on the one hand, on contemporary politics in sub-Saharan Africa on the other hand—to bear on these specific questions. Before I respond in detail, I would like to briefly restate the argument of the book, which will allow the reader to understand better which parts the comments address.
