National Minorities in Putin's Russia

Diversity and Assimilation

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Using a human rights approach, the book analyses the application of minority policies for the preservation of cultural and linguistic diversity in Russia. Despite Russia's legacy of ethno-cultural and linguistic pluralism, the book argues that the Putin leadership's overwhelming statism and promotion of Russian patriotism are leading to a reduction of Russia's diversity. Using interviews with representatives of national minorities, civil society, public officials and academics, the book highlights the reasons why Russian law and policies, as well as international standards on minority rights, are ill-equipped to withstand the centralising drive toward ever greater uniformity.
