Russian Football Fans: Origins, Organisation and Challenges
P. 115–125.
Recent football fan action in Russia and its role in national and international sports events have shown that the phenomenon of football fandom, including its organization and cultural norms, calls for close investigation. This investigation is essential not only for understanding the patterns of Russian football fan ‘mass action’, but also for the development of an effective communication strategy with the fandom organizations in the light of the forthcoming 2018 World Cup in Russia.

The defense of gay rights and other liberal values by some right-wing populists is often perceived as an opportunistic strategy to justify anti-Muslim policies. But this explanation for co-optation of liberal values by parties that are considered to be in conflict with liberalism circumvents a proper analysis of the phenomenon. I will therefore investigate this ...

Исторически Европа выступала «значимым Другим» для интеллектуального сообщества России, которая вслед за веяниями европейской культуры колебалась между «гегелистами» и «нигилистами», если воспользоваться выражением тургеневского героя. Действительно, начиная с эпохи Петра Первого, интеллектуальную повестку России задавали европейские властители дум, и отечественное просвещенное общество воспринимало Европу как «страну святых чудес» (А.С. Хомяков). ХХ век был ознаменован двумя ...
