Ch. 6. P. 117–132.
Kade M., Dionysios Zoumpalidis
This chapter examines the language practices and beliefs of the Circas-sian community, an ethnic minority group living in Russia. The study focuses onthe younger generation of Circassians aged 18 to 36, residents of Moscow, andlooks at their language competencies and ideologies. The study reveals that, be-sides the Russian language, a significant number of Circassians residing in Mos-cow have proficiency in the Adyghe language, with many considering their skillsas satisfactory or good. The data suggests that activities promoting conversationamong Circassians, such as speaking clubs, could contribute to the maintenanceof the Adyghe language in Moscow. Overall, this study provides valuable insightsinto the language practices, beliefs, and family language policy of the Circassiancommunity in the multicultural urban environment of the Russian capital city.

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 ...
