The late 1980s and early 1990s were characterized by the sudden rise of nationalist movements in almost all Soviet ethnic regions. It is argued that the rise of political nationalism since the late 1980s can be explained by development of cultural nationalism in the previous decades, as an unintended outcome of communist nationalities policy. Soviet political and cultural nationalism is studied in historical and comparative perspective. All ethnic regions are examined throughout entire history of the Soviet Union (49 regions, 1917-91), using the structural equation modeling approach. This paper aims to make at least three contributions in the field. Firstly, it is a methodological contribution for studying nationalism: a ‘quantification of history’ approach. Quantitative values are assigned to historical trends and events. Having constructed variables from historical data, I use conventional statistical methods like SEM. Secondly, this paper contributes to the theoretical debate about the role of cultural autonomy in multiethnic states. The results rethink the notion of ‘cultural autonomy’ as solution of interethnic conflict. Cultural nationalism matters, it indirectly reinforces political nationalism. In both cases concessions in the cultural domain has not stopped the growth of political nationalism in the late 1980-s. Finally, the paper statistically proves that the break between early Soviet and Stalinist nationalities policy explains the entire Soviet nationalities policy. In fact, the late Soviet nationalities policy was inherited from the Stalin’s rule period. This finding revealed in other studies now gets statistical evidence

Since their independence, Ukraine and Belarus have pursued relatively consistent but almost polar-opposite policies toward Russia. For the most part, the difference is explicable not as a product of differing material pressures and incentives (which do not, in fact, differ significantly), but as a consequence of differing popular and elite conceptions of Ukrainian and Belarusian national identities, ...

Сравнивается эвристический потенциал двух контекстов для эмпирических исследований и теоретического анализа общественного мнения о мигрантах в современной России. Отмечается, что в российских исследованиях миграций, как и в европейских, преобладает рассмотрение этой темы в контексте нациестроительства (nationbuilding), вследствие чего изучение представлений о мигрантах часто сводится к изучению отношения к мигрантам как более или менее толерантного.

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 ...

Most contemporary sociologists’ aversion towards nationalism
contrasts with the alleged nationalist views of one of the key
classics of sociology, Max Weber. The considerable accumulated
scholarship on the issue presents a unified belief that Weber was
indeed a nationalist yet varies considerably in the significance
attributed to the issue. Most authors entrench Weber’s nationalism
within biographical studies of Weber’s political views ...

В статье приведен анализ современной динамики национализма как политической идеологии и феномена массового сознания. Отмечается, что вопреки ожиданиям теоретиков глобализация и модернизация не привели к постепенному исчезновению национализма. Обосновывается тезис о том, что за наблюдаемым в настоящее время обострением националистической проблематики в мировой повестке дня стоит не общий рост национализма, а его качественное изменение: из ...
