“…We regret if, even so, there was not enough detail to satisfy Madeleine Reeves; but as it was, we were uncomfortably aware that the decision to focus on only two of the many peoples living in the borderlands meant leaving aside other groups, such as the Evenki, with their own complex and specifi c reactions to cross-border ethnic links. Book length restrictions led to further lacunae, in particular paying attention to the forgotten and the silenced (Namsaraeva 2017) or even to the lack of desire for connection, such as the many Buryats who do not choose to link up with Buryat and Barga co-ethnics living in China and Mongolia. Th ese peoples perforce have to adapt to the fact that they are fully encapsulated (hence the country-wide diff erences do "go all the way down").…”

This article investigates exemplarity from the point of view of the subject, the person who leads an exemplary life. Asking how this differs from the case of someone who intends more simply to lead a morally good life, it argues that the former requires sharp prioritizing among the range of possible human virtues. While both kinds of actor should be understood in relational terms, namely relations to the self, direct interlocutors, and wider society, a subject becomes an exemplar by objectifying and conveying to others the chosen specific form of virtue. Taking the case of Ataman Semenov, a White general in the Russian Civil War, the article then examines the pitfalls of having to take a culturally particular exemplary position. Some of these relate to the problems that occur in general when moral exemplarity is demonstrated, the subject being unable to control misreading of the exemplary act, the hesitations of followers, or the leeway with which they attempt to emulate or imitate the act. Other problems concern the historical positioning of the exemplary subject, particularly in a time of war. By making overt certain specific virtues, and by the same token backgrounding or suppressing others, he or she has to “stand out” amid general confusion and uncertainty and therefore is certain to arouse animosity, as much as loyalty.
