Produktbeschreibung
Explores the momentous changes that have taken place in the Russian nationalist field since Putin's return to the presidency Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 marked a watershed in post-Cold War European history and brought East-West relations to a low point. At the same time, by selling this fateful action in starkly nationalist language, the Putin regime achieved record-high popularity. This book shows how, after the largescale 2011-13 anti-Putin demonstrations in major Russian cities and the parallel rise in xenophobia related to the Kremlin's perceived inability to deal with the influx of Central Asian labour migrants, the annexation of Crimea generated strong 'rallying around the nation' and 'rallying around the leader' effects. The contributors to this collection go beyond the news headlines, focusing on aspects of Russian society that have often passed under the radar, such as intellectual racism and growing xenophobia. These developments are contextualised by chapters that provide a broader overview of the latest developments in Russian nationalism - both state-level nationalism and independent, bottom-up-driven societal nationalism, and the tensions between the two are explored. This collection builds and expands upon the discussion of Russian nationalism presented in The New Russian Nationalism edited by the same authors and published by Edinburgh University Press in 2016. Pål Kolstø is Professor of Russian Studies at the University of Oslo. He has authored two books and edited seven books on nationalism and ethnic conflict in Russia, the former Soviet Union and the Western Balkans. Helge Blakkisrud is Senior Researcher and Head of the Research Group on Russia, Eurasia and the Arctic at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs, Oslo. He has published widely on nationalism and nation-building in Russia and Eurasia.
