Ethnicities, Nationalism and the Politics of Identity: Shaping the Nation in Russia
Europe-Asia Studies. 2015. Vol. 67. No. 2. P. 306–326.
The post-Soviet period in Russia has seen the emergence of strong identities shaped around ethnicity issues. The current Putin presidency is marked by a political concern for the 'national question' with strong traditionalist connotations. State dominated politics of identity promoting an encompassing Russian (rossiyskaya) identity aim to become a game changer in nation-building. This agenda has to take in different repertioires of contention, and bridging cleavages within Russian society is not only and primarily a question of elite-tailored politics of identity. It is about the assertion of inclusive identities innate both to the cultural tradition and to the needs of a community confronting modernization challenges.
The contentious politics paradigm provides a general framework for assessing conflict potential in transforming institutional environments that goes beyond institutionalism. However, the territorial dimension of ethnicity historically rooted in Russia and the complex nature of nationalism call for additional theoretical framing. The paper explores the interaction of policy and identity factors to assess the resource capacities of politics of identity for promoting nation-building in a multiethnic society. It uses research and expert sources, poll data and personal expert experience to contribute to 'upgrading' theoretical approaches and public discourse on the future of the Russian nation.

Тема статьи – анализ современного российского идеологического дискурса и перспектив его развития. Ключевая гипотеза заключается в том, что современные российские идеологические проекты имеют слабое отношение к социальной реальности, то есть являются «консервативно-авангардистскими» проектами, конструирующими настоящее и будущее России на основе абстрактных представлений о прошлом. ...

employment, with the rise of contractual networks for the
production and distribution of goods and services that were once
under direct corporate control. With minor exceptions, much of

pay, and generally retentive labor practices that were a ...

Within this environment, we investigate how logrolling shapes policy outcomes. We establish three main results. First, an essentially ...

In the first case, this makes it possible to explain variations in environmental actions between different societies/countries; in ...

At the end of 2023, Russia updated its Strategy for Improving Financial Literacy and Developing Financial Culture Until 2030. Unlike the previous strategy, the current strategic goals include not only financial literacy but also financial culture. ‘Culture’ is normative and socially preferred behaviour. The updated strategy brings into focus the relationship between financial literacy and responsible financial behaviour. To explore this relationship, the authors rely on data from the All-Russian Survey of Consumer Finance (2020 and 2022). Socially ...
